I just about always call here, no huge benefits to 3 betting but thats not terrible either.

Isn't getting head-up in position, not letting the big blind draw three, a reasonable benefit?

In a perfect world sure, but the blinds will be playing any reasonable 2 card draw regardless of if you call or three bet.. and the few times you fold the BB who was going to play for 2 bets and draw 3, you gotta compensate for bloating the pot with a hand that often becomes trouble (Esp when you catch 8x on first or second draw)

Agreed. Generally I'm pretty happy to play 2x7 multiway with position.

Agreed, plus like I said, what are you doing with 2x8 on the button. Too good to fold,but how to do you play it well if you're always 3 betting 2x7?

In theory it almost makes more sense to 3 bet your weaker 3 card hands like 238 trying to force HU action and just call with 234 type hands.. I've always felt this way but never practiced it because theres enough added variance the way i play.

The true frustrating part about duece is that you can employ any change of strategy and really not know how it changes your EV for a really long time due to the variance of the game. You could win 500 bets easily in a short period of time doing something that's -EV.

This is definitely not something that only happens in triple draw.

of course not, but I think it's alot easier to not recongize a leak in duece than it is other games.

Since you've spoiled the strategy, I guess I don't mind saying that I do this. (Not always, obv.)
