I mean that there are not many 5CD tables going on, not much people playing it.
Got it.

And 7-A is a variant of 5CD, its with 32 or 36 cards instead of 52 cards
I see. Since you take the deuces, treys, fours, fives, and sixes out of the deck, it's called 7-A. Makes sense.
Does it just have two betting rounds, before and after the draw? (That would make sense too).
I don't have a clue as to what a good hand would be. Seems like you'd generally need a better hand than in regular five card draw. For example, if you were dealt three of a kind, you'd improve to quads with a two card draw 2/27 instead of 2/47. Similarly you'd improve to a full house 36/351 instead of 66/1081. I'm not positive about those numbers, but that's the general idea. And you'd be dealt three of a kind more often.
8*4*28*24/2=10752.
That would be out of 201376 possible starting hands.
So you'd start with trips 10752/201376=~0.0534, or roughly one time out of nineteen, instead of 54912/2598960=0.02112845 or roughly one time out of forty seven.
I'd get that part straight first, all the probabilities of possible hands.
I think people unfamiliar with the game would tend to either over-compensate or under-compensate for this escalation for the worth of hands after the draw. Since I'm completely unfamiliar with the game, I wouldn't have a clue as to how much better you'd want your hand to be at the showdown. If I were you, I'd spend some time dealing out however many hands you expect to be playing against, discarding and drawing as you think wise, and keeping track of what won.
There's obviously a lot more to the game, but perhaps that gives you an idea of where you might start.
