Why did I lose

EvertonGirl · Mar 4, 2013

I have not played 2-7 single draw much and thought today I will have a go. I thought the object was to get the lowest hand possible which I thought I did.

I looked at my last hand played as I was expecting the chips to come my way but they didn't what did I miss.

You have a straight which counts against your hand . nut low hand is 23457.

Thanks I did not know that. I will have to learn the game properly next time before I enter another one. At least it was only a freeroll so no money lost

Check the link out, gives you a bit better idea of hand rankings.

EvertonGirl · Mar 4, 2013

I nearly read that link before I played but read a different one that did not explain the hands as clearly as the pokerstars one does. I am a numpty

You hit a straight, that aint a low hand lol, tbf its something I would do too

when I first jumped into lowball I made the same mistake luckily at micro stakes.

I prefer the triple draw though.

I bet a lot of people have made the same mistake. Luckily it was a micro stake so you did not lose too much

Rookie mistake because this happens to most of us in the beginning! I had the same thing happened to when I started playing! lol I suck at this game though so I tend to get away from it!

EvertonGirl · Mar 9, 2013

Yea I suck too, I only play it at pokerstars on one of there freerolls, so I can get plenty of practice at it

You lost because you had straight and that's a loosing hand.

Oh, I miss this game on Poker Stars! I've done the same thing (I think probably everyone has). Just remember, it's not Razz!
