A version of 5 card draw poker where you are playing for the worst hand, in this case 7 5 4 3 2 unsuited, also referred to as the nuts or a wheel in this game.. Straight's and flushes are not low hands and are typically losers. An ace is a high card so the hand A 2 3 4 5 would not be considered a straight, it would be read as, A 5 4 3 2, beaten by a king high but not beaten by a pair. There are 3 draws in this game, hence the name tripple draw. (Submitted by PokerCop on March 23, 2006, 4:58PM)
