Lasercats.....in a nutshell 2-7 td is really in my mind about position, table image, good reads (ie knowing what cards your opponents are standing on and pushing at ya), and having one of the 4 twos......depending on those....drawing 3 w 72 is usually fine....but i prefer to have 3 cards 8 and under....drawing into or out of a straight can really screw you so i try to avoid that, and if you can draw to 75432 or 76432 ie the nuts/almost nuts i'll usually say to go for it even if someone's standing pat early unless your hurting for chips or know the opponent to be really solid, ie doesn't stand pat w/ j high or 10 high all the time and try to push.....i'll look for a little guide I wrote for 2+2 a long time ago and post it up........sorry if that was convoluted.....2-7 td is simple yet deep....one reason i really like it......nl 2-7 sd is much different but equally fun in my humble opinion.....love playing that live when i can see my opponents since its almost all position, table image, and having the guts to either bluff off folks or draw that one card that could either make or break your whole game...
