In both of these games, there is no cap on the maximum amount of any given wager, similar to NLHE. That said, despite this lack of a restriction on bets and raises, as there are only two betting rounds these games are usually not as volatile as other pot-limit or no-limit poker variants.
In both, each player is dealt five hole cards. There is a pre-draw betting round, followed by a single drawing round, then a final betting round. In five-card draw, players are trying to make the highest five-card hand, with standard poker rankings used; in draw, players aim to make the lowest five-card hand. Aces count as high, undesirable cards in all "deuce-to-seven" games, and flushes and straights are similarly unwanted.
Here's a tip — The value of position in these games cannot be overemphasised. Since none of your opponents' cards is visible, the only concrete information you will typically gain regarding the strength of their hands is the number of cards drawn. Playing in position can, for instance, provide you with options in situations where you are faced with a choice to keep certain cards, or discard them in an attempt to make a better hand.
Also, you will find that it is difficult for players to make very strong hands when only a single draw is available. On average, hands such as two pair or even an unimproved big pair will win a fair share of pots in five-card draw. See my draw article linked to above for a discussion of expected hand strengths for that game. For how simple this game might be, you should not get on a Dealer's Choice game if you haven't had a good look at the rules first.
In and A-5 triple draw, players are each dealt five cards, and have three drawing opportunities to try to make the lowest possible hand. By contrast, in A-5 triple draw, aces count as low, desirable cards, and straights and flushes are ignored. Therefore, regardless of suits is the best hand in A-5 triple draw. In Badugi, players are also given three drawing opportunities to make a low hand, but only four cards are dealt to each player in that game. The object of Badugi is to try to make the lowest possible hand consisting of four uniquely ranked cards with all four suits represented.
Badeucy and Badacey are both cash-game favorites, both being split-pot versions of regular Badugi. Like and A-5 triple draw, each player is dealt five cards, and there are three drawing opportunities. Badeucy is best considered a variation of triple draw think "deuce" , while Badacey can be considered a variation of A-5 triple draw think "ace". In Badeucy, one-half of the pot is awarded to the best, five-card triple draw hand, whereas in Badacey that same half of the pot is awarded to the best, five-card A-5 triple draw hand instead.
The other half of the pot in both Badeucy and Badacey is awarded to the best Badugi hand that can be made from a player's five cards i. Finally, pot-limit Lowball Triple Draw was the most recent variant added to the Dealer's Choice mix, introducing a different betting structure to traditional limit-only triple draw. Here's a tip — In "deuce-to-seven" games such as Triple Draw and Badeucy, most playable starting hands will include a deuce, since most of the highest-ranking low hands contain a deuce.
Also, in split-pot variants such as Badeucy and Badacey, having low-ranked rainbow cards in a starting hand is extremely valuable — if you improve to a strong Badugi hand quickly, you may well have several "free" chances to improve to a sufficiently strong five-card hand that could earn you the entire pot.
