Default Re: Bored now. Invent a novel poker variant.

2-7 Triple Draw Hi/Lo variant

Players are dealt 5 cards each face down. After the players SECOND discard they are dealt the number discarded plus one additional card (6 cards total now.) Players are allowed to use three cards for the high (AAA being the best) and three for the low (A23) being the best).

The best hand is AAA23x

[/ QUOTE ] The hi/lo one sounds like a blast..have to try that sometime. Is the low hand played same as regular A-5 TD (i.e., straights and flushes don't count against you), or Badugi style (a "wheel" has to be A23 of three different suits)?

[/ QUOTE ]

I would think it's best played flushes do not count against since low is only 3 cards, A-3. I've never played it though, I just made it up lol. Perhaps a better version may be to just deal 6 cards from the beginning. I'm determined to think of a great TD hi/lo so if anyone can do better or refine please do so.
