Triple Draw Poker

    There are two versions of Triple Draw poker being dealt online. Both versions are lowball games, where the lowest hand wins the pot.

    You can choose from Deuce to Seven where flushes and stragiths do count against you. Aces are also considered high in that game, making the best possible hand 2,3,4,5,7 (or deuce to seven).

    The second version is Ace to Five, where the Ace is considered low. Like most 8 or Better games, in Ace to Five straights and flushes do not count against you. This version is more like the other poker games where you can try to build a low hand.

     Yet another version of the game that is available for online play is a four card lowball game called Badugi. It is being dealt at Doyle's Room.
