So, we're looking for two, three, four, five, seven, because if you have two, three, four, five, six, that makes a straight, which means it's the higher end of the hand ranges, no good to anybody. Okay, let's have a look. I'm just going to show you the nuts in deuce to seven, triple draw, and then we will get around to the basics.

Now, in this game, like in most poker games, aces are high, and we're looking for low versions of the hands, so aces are not good for us, okay.

Bet very fiercely with this hand, and draw one. Wow. In the first draw, we've got a really, really strong hand.

An eight low is fantastic. You would stick with this hand and you would keep betting, but let's say we got this in the first draw. Another eight, there's another eight.

Okay, let's say you got a jack here, okay. The jack, you would redraw. You don't want a jack, and then you get a three.

Three is bad because obviously, you've made a pair now. You would draw again. Oh, funny enough.

We've now made the nuts on the third draw. You get three draws and at the end of the three draws, you show down and see who has got the lowest hand possible, and that's basically how you play deuce to seven, triple draw. .
