- 2-7 Triple Draw counted A-5 style.
- The A is 1, straights and flushes are ignored, and the best hand is 5-4-3-2-A.
Base: 2-7 Triple Draw
Differences from 2-7 TD:
- The A is 1, the lowest card
- Straights and flushes are ignored
- The best hand is 5-4-3-2-A (the wheel). 7-5-4-3-2, number one in 2-7, is 11th here (after one 5 low, five 6 lows and four 7 lows)
- Low hands are easier to make, because the A counts as 1 and straights and flushes don’t hurt. The same 8 low wins in fewer spots than in 2-7
Dealing, three draws, four betting rounds, blinds and Fixed limit are the same as 2-7 TD.
Example. X has 7♥ 6♥ 5♥ 4♥ 3♥, Y has 8♠ 5♦ 4♣ 3♠ 2♠. In 2-7 TD, X has a straight flush, the worst possible, and Y wins. In A-5 TD, X has a “7 low” and Y an “8 low”, so X wins.
