Community Card Game · Blinds · 2-7 Single Draw · Split Pot (2-7 Low / Omaha High) · 6 Players Max
Overview
Dramaha 2-7 is a split-pot game that combines two completely different poker disciplines in one hand. Each player receives five "Individual" cards that serve double duty: ALL FIVE cards make up your 2-7 Single Draw lowball hand, while EXACTLY TWO of those five cards combine with EXACTLY THREE community cards for your Omaha high hand. After the flop, there is a single draw phase where players may discard and replace any number of their individual cards before the turn.

Key Rules
IMPORTANT: Each player's five Individual cards serve BOTH hands simultaneously. ALL FIVE cards form the 2-7 lowball hand. For Omaha, EXACTLY 2 of the five combine with EXACTLY 3 community cards.
Number of Players
2–6 players.
The Deal
Each player is dealt five face-down Individual cards. Standard blinds structure.
Betting Order
Pre-flop → Flop (3 community cards) → Flop betting → Draw (single draw) → Turn (1 community card) → Turn betting → River (1 community card) → River betting → Showdown.
The Draw (Single Draw)
After the flop betting, each player may discard and replace any number of their individual cards (0 to all 5). This happens once, after the flop. Players act in order. The draw directly impacts the 2-7 low hand — use it wisely.
Split Pot — Two Independent Hands
2-7 LOW HALF: Best 5-card 2-7 lowball hand using ALL FIVE individual cards.
OMAHA HIGH HALF: Best 5-card high hand using EXACTLY 2 individual cards + EXACTLY 3 community cards.
The same player can win both halves (a "scoop").
2-7 Lowball Rules (CRITICAL — very different from A-5)
Aces are HIGH — terrible for low hands! Never want an Ace in 2-7.
Straights COUNT against you — a 2-3-4-5-6 is a straight = bad!
Flushes COUNT against you — five same-suit cards = bad!
Best hand: 2-3-4-5-7 (skips 6 to avoid straight; all different suits). This is the "2-7 Wheel."
Second best: 2-3-4-6-7. Third: 2-3-5-6-7. And so on.
Compare from highest card down — lower wins.
Strategy Tips
Avoid Aces — they are high in 2-7 (use them only for Omaha high).
Watch your suits — four or five matching-suit cards can create a flush = losing low hand.
2-3-4-5-7 (no 6!) is the 2-7 wheel — the best possible low hand.
Use the draw to break up straights and flushes; sometimes drawing for different suits is the correct play.
High cards (Kings, Aces) are useful for the Omaha high pot but terrible for 2-7 low.
Look to scoop — win both halves for the entire pot.
