Often,
when you have four cards to a good low, like 2 3
4 5, and draw one card on the final round, you will
pair one of your cards, which makes your hand just
about worthless. However, you can try to use the
way your opponents play against them. For example,
you have a decent low like 2 3 4 7 T and don't draw
any cards on the last round, and your opponent draws
one. You can bet into them and if they paired one
of their cards or got a high card, they will often
fold, assuming you have a strong hand.
Though I am far from an expert, much like every
variation of poker, your starting hand goes a long
way in determining your chances to win. Once I started
folding any hand that didn't have at least two cards
5 and below, my results improved. I am pretty sure
that if you went as far as to fold any starting
hand that didn't have at least three cards 6 and
below you would do very well, especially at the
lower limits.
Of course the only way to improve is practice, but
if you have an opportunity to play Triple Draw,
you should give it a try. You will see that you
must look at the value of a hand in a much different
way than in Texas holdem, but I believe there is
a good chance it will improve your overall game.
Until next week, good luck at the tables!
