description A-5 Triple Draw Overview
A-5 Triple Draw is a draw-poker variant in which the lowest five-card hand wins under ace-to-five ranking. Players may discard and replace cards during three separate drawing rounds, with betting between the draws; the game is commonly dealt using fixed-limit betting. Aces count low, while straights and flushes do not penalize a hand, making A-2-3-4-5, known as the wheel, the best possible holding.
