After the draw has taken place, one of the best things you should learn to do when playing Lowball is not to call when you believe you are beaten. Most of the time it's mandatory to call when your opponent bets into you, just because the size of the pot warrants it. More often than not this policy dictates your Lowball strategy. If you hold a seven high (7-4-3-2-A) and one or more opponents have raised before you, it's a must that you should stay to the finish, especially if your opponents had drawn one or two cards. Furthermore, you should occasionally call with a small pair or king or queen high against loose opponents who usually bet with a pair. Also, the best bluff attempt is made with a big pair, a near-full table of players and big money in the pot. Of course, you must respect opponents who just will never call without a hand of sorts. It is such players you should try the bluff on more often than on a loose opponent.
