Jaded vs Greg Raymer

[Jaded]

Until I bust out... 2-7 triple draw on Stars, if anyone wants to see.

Here's the proof;

[slapdash]

Never played triple draw. Of all forms of poker, it's the one I have least clue
about. Any tips, Jaded, seeing as you play it regularly with the pros?

[Jaded]

Will post some strategy up afterwards if you want slap - basically, stand pat with 5 cards 8 or less, hold onto 3 or 4 cards 7 or less as long as they're not drawing to a straight, and fold everything else (except maybe 2-3)

Oh, and hope you're on a table with someone who plays even less than you do! (NOT Greg, I hasten to add...)

I probably don't even know the rules ...

It's a low-only game, isn't it? Do straights count against you, then, unlike
razz, Omaha H/L and Stud H/L?

Slap, yeah, straight/flushes/pairs ALL count against you.

Edit: Val was laughing because he'd just seen the hand above!!
