2-7 Triple Draw is a Limit Game
2-7 Triple Draw is usually played as a fixed-limit game (just like Limit Hold’em) so there's a small and a big bet. These are twice the blinds and denote the name of the game.

That means in a 50c/$1 game the blinds are 25c/50c. Bets are then 50c in the first two betting rounds and $1 in the second two betting rounds.

If you’ve never played limit poker you might need some time to adjust to the different betting structure. Every hand is limited to four bets which dramatically lowers the fold equity. Read more about Limit betting here:
