Hey yall currently learning how to deal 2-7 lowball and im wondering in spots where a player discards their cards what the reshuffling process looks like to ensure the other player doesn't get the same card/cards they discarded back especially in 2-7 triple draw with multiple streets?

Ex:
Say its an 8 handed game 2-7 single draw game and you have 2 cards left in the stub and P1 P2 and P3 each want to discard 2.

So would the process look like mix and reshuffle the 2 cards in the stub with all the cards that are already in the muck then deal to P1, P2, and P3 subsequently and at the end take all 6 of their discards and put them in the new muck? And if this was triple draw then its possible for another player to get the same cards they previously discarded on an earlier street right there is no way to avoid this, but you should still not shuffle the actively discarded cards on current street if a reshuffle is required?

Well if you deal 8 into single draw (standard is 7 btw) that's 40 cards. Add one burn is 41. You still have enough to deliver 11 cards.

In triple draw you keep the discards from the CURRENT round separate from the muck and shuffle everything else once you need to shuffle.

WOW why didnt i think of that... oh wait i literally just typed that in my post. People need to learn to read on this forum.

Second of all. Say all 7 players in triple draw decide to discard 4 cards each whats the point of having 11 cards?? You are going to have to deal to P1 & P2 then reshuffle the rest,

Its okay man i know your trolling

I know my wording wasn't great but seriously this is a terrible post reply

That was a perfect reply, no idea why you thought it was trolling. But if that doesn't answer your questions, then your post was so poorly written that no one can understand what you wanted to know.

Explain to me how it was a perfect reply then. So he is basically saying if there are say 10 cards in the muck then to use those 10 cards to shuffle and re-distribute in triple draw? That can't be right and it isn't.

Anyway i've figured it out on my own.

In single draw you should never get the same discard back because you keep everything seperate, however in triple draw it's possible to get the same card back you discarded on a prev street

I believe he was saying that in single draw there should be enough to deal for everyone's discards. There should be 11 cards in the stub pre-draw. that's enough for 2 players even if both players discard 5

So you figured that out after reading his post and calling it a troll even though that’s basically what he said? Interesting.

Don't be ignorant. His post didn't help me please read my post word for word and then my reply. Keep living in your own world though


"In draw games, particularly those with multiple draws such as 2-7 Triple Draw and Badugi, it is possible for more cards to be needed than are remaining in the stub (the cards in the deck which have not yet been used). If the original 52-card deck is insufficient for the dealer to distribute the number of cards requested by the active player, the remaining cards in the original stub and all of the cards discarded by players previously (including those discarded by other players on the current drawing round) are shuffled together to make a new stub(emphasis added). Play continues from that point using the new stub. Multiple reshuffles of this nature are possible during a hand, depending on the action.

In games with a single draw, the active player's discards are not used in the reshuffle, so it is impossible for you to receive back a card that you have discarded on the draw. In games with multiple draws, once a reshuffle has occurred, the server will prevent a player from receiving back any specific card they have previously discarded.

Thus, if you throw away the deuce of spades, it is impossible for you to receive the deuce of spades back on a future draw, even if the discards have been reshuffled into a new stub.

Reshuffles are unique to Draw, and do not occur in Stud games. In the event that there are not enough cards left to deal the last card to all remaining players in a seven-card stud game, a community card is used, which is placed face up on the table and is shared by all players."



I found this online by myself, pretty useless thread ngl but yeah thanks for nothing everyone lmao

Try rereading your own post dumbass. Your example specifically said you were asking about SINGLE-DRAW lowball, then you get upset at other people for giving you answers that don't make sense for triple draw??

Of course, he also explained what is done in triple draw to make sure a player doesn't get the same card back in the same round of triple draw.

If his post didn't help you, either you can't comprehend a clear reply by a wise, helpful poster, or your writing is so poor that you didn't ask what you really wanted to know.

PS. The information you posted above looks like it comes from an online poker site, which does not work the same way as live poker (nothing will make sure you don't ever get the same card back that you discarded in an earlier drawing round).

What is the title of this thread?? also you just said things in your last sentence that are irrelevant and contradictory from each other and they are points that i both mentioned about the previous discards, seriously its time for you to get put into a home its okay man we all get old at some point just having the awareness to recognize it is the first step or get some medication/therapy idk you do you

Oh sorry, I guess the one person who has 38 posts and asked a ridiculously simple question, likely because he has never actually played draw poker in a casino, certainly knows better than the players who have done this for a living for many years. My bad.

Re-read my post i basically answered my own question technically i don't know why im still entertaining you old farts with brain damage. I haven't played draw poker but you never answered my initial question and what does me having played or not played have to do with understanding the rules/re-shuffling process i could just go on google and get a better answer then here lmao

I know that in single and triple draw you keep the current discards and i literally typed that sentence after my example, but i was unsure about the re-shuffling process/previous discards for triple draw and if you were allowed to get previous discarded hands you threw out on the 1st/2nd draw now on the 3rd draw. If anything disregard the last sentence of my post it's a bit confusing.

This is the last time im replying man seriously i'm not your caretaker

OP, please continue to answer your own questions so that you don't have to post them here. Obv you are a very stable genius that does not need help.

BTW your post stated "especially in 2-7 triple draw with multiple streets" not "specifically in 2-7 triple draw with multiple streets"

also, 2-7 triple draw with multiple streets is redundant.

You sound about 16 years old and not old enough for a casino.

People were trying to help you.
