Which 2-7 Triple Draw Starting Hands To Play?

Now that we have covered the best possible 2-7 Triple Draw hands, we will go into what cards are good starting cards. In order to make the best possible poker hand, or when talking about 2-7 Triple Draw, the worst possible hand, you must know what to start with. Many players will make the mistake of keeping cards because they are low cards without even realizing that they could end up with a low end straight which is a losing hand. This often happens when people look at their hand and see that they have 4 connected low cards and a high card. Of course, they want to keep the low cards because they are low, but too often they discard only the high card and end up drawing another low card that unfortunately completes their straight. In these instances, you should discard not only the high card, but also one of the middle connector cards.

For example, say you are dealt 3, 4, 5, 6, J. Many new players will look at this and immediately think they have a pretty good starting hand. Of course, this is because they plan on discarding the Jack and keeping the lower cards. However, what they often fail to notice is that they have an open ended straight draw as well. Since straights count against you in 2-7, this is a bad thing to have. So on top of discarding the Jack, you should also discard the 5 to break up the straight. Of course there is always the chance that you will draw 2 cards to the straight, but drawing 2 specific cards to a straight is less likely than if you only needed 1 of 2 cards to complete the straight. The reason you discard the 5 instead of the 4 or 6 is because getting rid of the 6 doesn't actually break up the straight draw, it just makes it smaller. The 4 is smaller than the 5 and since you are going for the lowest hand, you always want to keep the lowest cards possible.
