Of the increasing number of poker games available online in various poker rooms, fixed limit 27 triple draw continues to be one of the most popular. You may have heard this game referred to as deuce to seven triple draw, or just “deuce to seven”. And while there are some who say there is no strategy involved in winning at cards, only the luck of the draw – having an effective and well-thought-out fixed limit 27 triple draw strategy in place is important if you’re looking to build your bankroll playing this lowball poker variant. There are things you can do to make better use of the cards you’re holding and those that you draw to. Here are some ideas on how to improve your Fixed Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Poker game. This game is only offered at a couple poker rooms. Pokerstars is the only independent poker room to offer it and the Merge Gaming network (Aced Poker) is the only online poker network that has it.

Fixed Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Opening Hands
The rules of 2-7 Triple Draw can lead to fewer potential winning hands than in many other forms of poker. The best hand in 27 Triple Draw is a 7,6,5,3,2. Even though you have three rounds to draw from, that’s a tough hand to shoot for. Because of this, the cards you have in your opening hand are extremely important. If you are holding 4 low cards — 7 or lower — bet early and often! When you have a low hand from the start, betting aggressively is important. As a minimum, you should have 3 low cards with a high of 8.

Your Position In 2-7 Triple Draw
Where you are at the table is very important in 2-7 Triple Draw and should be included in any 2-7 Triple Draw strategy. If you are the first player to draw, you need to be holding a strong hand to stay in the game. In this position, you can’t assess the strengths of your opponents’ hands before you decide your own actions since you have no idea how many cards they have drawn and how they are betting. If you are the last person to draw you are in a very strong position. You know what your opponents have done: who drew how many, who stood pat, who called, and who raised.

Your Draws In 27 Triple Draw
With each draw you make you should be concentrating on two things. First, is your hand improving? With each successive draw you should be getting lower cards in your hand. If not, you should think about getting out of the game. You should also be gathering information about your opponents’ hands. If everyone around the table is drawing 3-5 cards on every round, it’s likely no one has a very strong hand. Similarly, if one of your opponents stands pat after the first or second draw, it’s pretty safe to assume he or she has a strong hand.

Standing Pat In 2-7 Triple Draw
If you have an 8 or 7 high hand early on, standing pat and allowing your opponents to keep drawing in the hopes of improving their hands may be a good idea. Standing pat is also sometimes used as a bluffing strategy. Although risky, if you know the tendencies of your opponents, you may be able to force them out early even with an average hand. However, standing pat is a well-known bluff in fixed limit 27 triple draw (and all draw poker games for that matter), which means that you cannot entirely depend on this bluffing strategy; sometimes it will work, most times it won’t.

The first thing you need to know before you ever sit down at the table is how the game is played and which hands are the best. Although 2-7 Triple Draw may seem very similar to any other game of Poker, there are many differences between it and any other game. 2-7 Triple Draw is a low ball game which means that instead of looking for the best hand, you are actually looking for what would normally be considered the worst hand, but in this instance is the best. In many low ball games, straights and flushes do not count, however, in 2-7 Triple Draw they actually count against you as you are looking for the worst hand. Another rule to keep in mind is that Aces are always high when playing 2-7 Triple Draw, so if you find one in your hand, be sure to discard it if there is another drawing round.

As the name indicates, there will be 3 draws. The top 2-7 triple draw hand is 23457. This game is only available at a few online poker rooms and only one of them offers decent traffic, Pokerstars. The 2-7 Triple Draw action at Poker Stars in 2010 is roughly 300% higher than it was in 2009. This can be explained by the addition of 8-Game Mix in Pokerstar’s mixed game line-up. Mixed game players are falling in love with 27 Triple Draw and are plying their skills at the ring tables which boast around 200 real money players during the busy hours.
