Play Triple Draw Lowball Poker Online For Real Money

Triple Draw Lowball Poker at Ultimate Bet is a 5 card draw low-ball game where 2-6 players are allowed to draw cards three times and the lowest hand wins. The smallest stakes are 1 cent ante (big blind) tables, the most expensive tables are three hundred dollar ante (big blind) tables, with a variety of price ranges in between. If getting really bad poker hands is your specialty, you can make a fortune playing this game. Triple draw comes in two varieties, 'Ace to Five' and 'Deuce to Seven'.

Deuce to Seven triple draw is a 5 card draw low game. Each player is dealt 5 cards and the goal is to make the lowest possible 5 card hand. There are four rounds of betting and three draws in this game. After each round of betting players choose to discard anywhere from 0 to 5 cards. Then the dealer deals replacement cards. After the third and final draw there is one last round of betting. A dealer button determines the order of betting and discarding.

Aces are high only (worst) and deuces are lowest (best). Because you are trying to make the lowest possible hand, straights and flushes count against you. This means that 23456, for example, is a very bad hand. It is a straight and is therefore worse than holding AKQJ9.

Because Aces play for high 2345A is not a straight. The best possible hand you can make is 23457 with no flush. This hand is called a wheel. The next best hand is 23467, again with no flush. This hand is often referred to as number 2. Likewise, 23567 is referred to as number 3 and so on. The worst hand you can hold in this game is a Royal Flush. So, the hand rankings are the inverse of the hand rankings in a regular high game.

Ace to Five triple draw plays exactly like deuce to seven triple draw except that hands are ranked differently. Just as in Deuce to Seven, you are trying to make a low hand but unlike in Deuce to Seven, in Ace to Five straights and flushes do not count against you and aces are lowest (best).

This means that the best possible hand you can have is A2345 with straights and flushes being irrelevant to the rank of the hand. In Ace to Five, the best hand (A2345) is called a wheel. A2346 is the next best hand and is called number 2 or a 6-4. The next best hand is A2356 and so on. Other than the ranking of the hands, the game play is identical to deuce to seven.
