2-7 triple draw strategy

[URKIDN]

Sorry for another question but i have started playing 2-7 triple draw and have a basic concept of the game. Does any memebr have a strategy for the game or some tips they can throw my way?

2-7 triple draw is mostly played with a limit bet structure. Every player is dealt five down cards. His aim is to build the worst five card hand while straights and flushs are valid and the ace counts as high card only. So the best hand is 2-3-4-5-7 – a seven low. You can draw three times as many cards as you want. After each draw there’s a betting round.

It’s very important to select good starting hands. If you don’t do that you’ll lose a lot of money in the long term. So if you get dealt a hand like 2-8-T-Q-A you should just fold. Even though you can draw three times you most likely still have a bad hand and end up calling with the worst hand all along.

Instead you should play hands like 2-3-6-7-7 or 2-3-5-T-A. Those are hands with potential even though 2-3-6-7-7 may look worse than our 2-8-T-Q-A hand above.

Another important point is aggression! Aggression is so important but most of the players seem to ignore the benefit of aggression. If you play aggressive you can win the hand in two ways. Either your opponents fold or you get called but get a better hand later on.

Let’s say you have 2-3-7-9-A. Instead of calling you should raise with such a hand. It’s ok when everybody folds and you win a tiny pot. And it’s also ok when you get called because it’s likely to make some sort of hand after a few draws.

Another great benefit is that your opponents can’t put you on a hand and will pay you off when you got the goods. 2-7 triple draw is a very nice game where you can show good profits if you’re playing the right style. But there are some points you can’t ignore. Be selective with your hands you play and if you play a hand – play it aggressively.

Doyle said 2-7 is the best no-limit game. Probably means it is a good game for aggressive bluffing

NFI there a typo as Str8 and Flushes are NOT valid

I'll just add study your table for the weak players and patterns of try never go to shown down with anything higher then 8..

Actually they are, they count against you

yep they do count against you and for the weak/holdem players they forget and will sometime call down with a low imo it's best to just muck those hand and stay out of trouble...
