2-7 triple draw
Hi all
New to this,
When at showdown.
Does 2,3,5,5,8
Beat A,2,5,7,8
Much Appreciated
No, because the first hand is a pair of 5s while the second is A high.
Thx for reply.
Then would 2,3,6,7,k
Beat A,2,3,5,7
As I thought Ace counts as a high card in 2-7 triple draw.
This was why I was thinking that
2,3,5,5,8
Beats A,2,5,7,8
RolldUpTrips is correct about terminology.
And you are correct about A counting as a high card.
Think of it as the worst "standard poker hand" wins in 2-7.
And you should read the hands from high cards to low cards and also put the pairs/trips before.
So in the case of your last example:
K7632 beats
A7532
In your 1st example:
55-832 beats
A8752
And straights and flushes count "against" you, meaning they are good "standard poker hands" and thus poor 2-7 hands.
Thank you @King_of_NYC!
I meant the other way around:
A8752 beats
55-832
Sorry for the confusion!
Worst hand wins (ace plays high)
A pair of fives beats no pair in regular poker, so ace high is a worse hand in 2-7
Ok, thxs. Some more questions.
When playing live 2-7 triple draw in a tournmant is it 7 handed.
When cards are discarded from the draws, do cards just go into the bottom of the deck with cards that have not been dealt. Or do they go into a sperate deck until unused cards have finished then cards are shuffled all together?
Much Appreciated
They go into the muck. It is pretty rare that you’d run out of cards, but if you do, you just shuffle the muck and deal from that
Also note that A2345 beats a pair, since the Ace is only high, therefre A2345 is not a straight…
Hi all
Badugi hands
Can you explain the logic of why a suited pair beats a suited low
E.g
Ah,3d,2c,2d
8h,3c,As,7s
Much Appreciated
It’s the best 3 card hand when there is no dooogi.
The 2nd hand doesn't count as a Badugi because you have 3 cards of the same suit.
Nope
I meant 2 cards of the same suit. Damn fingers! 😃
A23 > A38
When there is no Badugi and best three cards are looked at do the different suits count e.g.
Does
Ah,3d,4c,6c
beat
Ah,2,h,3h,7c
Also looking back at a hand I lost too
Ac,2h,6d,jd
beat
Ad,2d,5s,7c is this because the highest suited card in this case the 2d is discounted in the hand.
Much Appreciated
Yes, the hand you lost:
75A < 62A
A good way to think about it is an extra suited card or a paired card just is nothing, it can be thrown in the muck. So then you just compare whats left over. If someone is playing 4 cards thats a "badugi" and it beats all 3 cards, if both people have same number of cards you order them from highest to lowest and see who is lower.
Best strategy for following games:
Courcheval
my thinking is if a 7c is showing,then a hand like 8h,9d,6c, 5h,Ac is a good hand to play.
obviously if I have a set of 7's I have the nuts, but would i play exactly the same why as in normal omaha when the 3 cards are shown.
e.g when say a J or Q comes I play curiously
5-Card Triple Draw
When playing this game when observing opponents draws is this a good indicator for the hand there playing for.
E.G three draws indicate that they are playing with a hand with a pair in it.
two draws is playing for flush or they have trips in their hand already.
one draw flush draw alot of the time?
Omaha hi/low
What is strategy for this game as I'm finding it a bit difficult
Much Appreciated
"O8 strategy" is a little vague, but here goes. I'm assuming you mean limit. Take with a grain of salt, I am hardly expert.
You want to play hands that have the potential to scoop. So the best starting hand is AA23 double suited, because you have AA and two A hi flushes possible which helps you win the high half, plus A23 available to help you win the low half.
AAKK double suited and double suited broadway hands are also powerful in O8 because sometimes no low is possible, so you want hands that have the best possible chance to win the high when no low is possible. If you're lucky someone else will have K hi flushes or worse straights or worse sets/boats and will pay you off all the way.
Post flop play is pretty dependant on the board texture, your hand, and how your opponents tend to play.
When you have the nuts you generally want to be jamming, unless you have no redraws and/or your hand is very vulnerable, in which case you may want to slow it down until at least the turn to see how things...turn.
When you don't have the nuts, things are trickier. You're often behind someone with the nuts, plus you face redraws. Unless you have a good/nut redraw you don't usually want to be pumping up the pot too much.
Starting hands with a 9 (and middle cards in general) are bad, because they can't even help make an emergency low, and they will never be part of a nut straight that can scoop. Three of a kind in starting hand is worse because, well, I hope that is obvious. Weak pairs that can easily be second (or third) best or worst get you into a lot of trouble too. Along with mixed/unsuited hands with unconnected high and low cards.
Dinesh has some good points.
More simply:
1. Play coordinated hands. Try to have all 4 cards working together.
2. Play hands that can scoop.
3. Don't chase 2d nut holdings either way. King high flushes and A3 are tricky hands to play and usually just make second best.
4. Don't fall in love with Naked A2. You will often find yourself getting quartered or worse, even when you make a low and it isn't counterfeited.
You can stray on point 1 with the very best hands (Say AA29 or A239 with a nut flush draw)
You can stray on point 3 in short handed pots where you have multiple draws (A345 on KQ76 is a good example. You can make a very good low, and even though you have the idiot end of the straight on a 4 or 5, that is likely to be good anyway. Notice, that these hands do have some nut outs)

Can it be explained to me in a way where I can remember and apply the thinking that above senerio would be a shared pot in
In other situations that may occur in the future.
Much Appreciated
