View Full Version : Double-draw lowball: rules please

Can someone fill me in on what lowball draw variations there are which use more than one draw. I think I've heard of there being up to three draws in some schools. Are these fixed limit games only?

They can also be played pot limit and no limit; A-5, A-6, 2-7, and 3-card A-3. I haven't seen A-6 in a long time.


I've always heard 3-draw lowball called "triple draw," but 2-draws used to be called "with a shuck" or "with a twist." Often there was an additional price for the second draw, a big bet for example. Sometimes the second draw had to be 2 cards or none.


It seems that most multi-draw lowball games have a mechanism for dunning the people who continue to draw. They are either played pot limit, an increasing price must be paid for each card drawn, or the bets go up in some way after each round.
