Deuce-Seven
Triple Draw Lowball
|
Deuce-Seven Lowball consists of 4 betting rounds and five cards dealt face down to each player just as in 5 Card Draw. However in Deuce-Seven Lowball you can draw three times allowing four different bet sessions. One when you receive your first for cards and one each time you draw. Your goal in 2-7 Lowball is to make the lowest 5 cards you can with no pairs, flushes, or straights. Ace counts as the highest card, not a one. So the best possible hand would be 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. You should notice that 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is not the best hand since that would be a straight. All the straights and flushes and of course straight flushes count against you so you can't make any type of High Poker hand at all. If you end up with and 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and someone else had the same exact 5 cards but they are all hearts, they will lose the hand by far since they have a flush and you have an 8 high. Below is an example of an entire 2-7 Low hand played from beginning to end. |
