Now, after each round of betting in triple draw, you have the option to discard all five
of your cards. You can discard five, four, three, two or one and have those cards replaced,
or you can stand pat, which means you're not going to take anymore cards. Now, these cards
would normally be all face down, but for the sake of our demonstration, we're going to
look at them face up. Now the object is to make the best low hand that does not make
a straight. So this player is going to throw away this jack, this nine and this five because
it pairs his other five. Take three cards. Comes to him first because he's in the small
blind. See how that changes things. Well he actually improved. He went to a pair of fives
to a queen low. Now the next player wants to improve on his hand. He wants to throw
away the jack and the ten and take two cards. His hand got worse because aces are always
high in this game. And the following player, well he has a hand that should not even be
played, but for the sake of this demonstration shall be. You can win with an eight low, so
he's going to discard these three high cards. And he's going to go down to a queen low.
And finally, there's this player. Again, he's got a dog hand for this game, but this is
for demonstration. He's going to throw away these three high cards and hope to get three
lower ones. There's a seven, a five and a four. At last, he went from a pair of kings
to a pair of fours. But that is the first draw round of deuce to seven triple draw.
