Triple Draw: Optimal Small Blind Defense

Triple Draw low-limit live games offer creative strategies. From the small blind, defend wider vs. late position opens to acquire more pot equity. With limpers, opt for more speculative hands containing wheel aces or open-enders. Candidates include K-high-suited connectors, offsuit A-2 or A-3, and wheel suited-gaps like 7-8.

Jump raises rarely work. Flat calls allow seeing two free community cards cheaply. Low boards miss many hands, so continuation betting tends ineffective. Check-raising works well on coordinated boards that complete your concealed draw.

If checked to on the river, bluff only with the nuts. Otherwise, check behind with missed draws, underpairs, and missed middle pairs to avoid stacking off against made hands. Forget about showing "heart" by value betting thin air on the river. That's music to Nitre's ears!
