Okay let's talk about some trouble hands to start with in deuce to seven triple draw.
Now what we are looking at are hands that are drawing two cards. So, remember it is
a five card hand and we are not going to be playing this ace and this king, so this is
what we discard. So we are going to look at what remains. What you will notice about trouble
hands is that they don't have a deuce. Deuces are important in deuce to seven triple draw.
Seven four three would be good for stealing blinds. Would not be good for calling raises
in most cases. It would not be good from early position. And that goes for all of the hands
shown here: ace four, eight four three, eight five three, seven six three, all hold no deuces.
Remember, you want to be drawing up, not down. Better to start seven three deuce than seven
six five.
