PokerStars to offer 5 card draw + 2-7 triple draw lowball

I just updated today to see that Stars will now be offering 2 more games. There are no tables running yet, but I'd assume they'll be up soon.

Wow these players are horrendous. I've only played like 100 hands of 5-card draw in my life and I'm already up over $100 in like 10 min. I'm only playing $3/6, but still.

Hmmm, the tabs are there, but I can't see any tables.

Anyone have any good basic strat links for 5 card draw?

HU for bankrolls.

Ill be on to play at some point.

If its an ante game it sucks, if it blinds then its cool.

Normally if its a blind game you open UTG with only AAxxx or better, KKxxx or better in the next seat (im assuming its the same as dise) and then TTxxx or better from the button (to be honest you could open with just AQxxx but thats when your opps really suck)
Always raise HU no matter what you hold.

Only bet a strong two pair (probably kings maybe queens up) after you have drawn if you get raised you dump anything but 3 of a kind and possibly three bet if you have a strong trips hand.

If you pay attention to what your opps are and arent betting after they draw you'll be able to steal a lot of pots by betting knowing they wont showdown trash.

If its an ante game then it sucks and ill be spamming stars support to get a blinds-based game.

FYP.... at least at the current time there is only play money games.

Thanx for the tips Miff. It's a six handed blinds game - no ante. They have PL and NL (!) too. I'm playing play money at the mo. Maniacs keep drawing two and making a straight on me.

Found this strat link on 2p2 - pretty similar to what you said : http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...=2#Post7797595

nl draw games suck imo. Pl is a tough game against good players, whereas limit will give you a massive edge aganst even an average player if your starting hands reqs and blind play are good.
