Draw Down (poker)
In lowball, draw more than one card so as to be drawing to the
best possible hand, instead of
drawing fewer cards (generally one) to a poorer hand; sometimes
followed by to and a or the hand. For example, if you have K-8-6-4-2,
you could draw one to the 8, or draw down (that is, draw to
a 6) by throwing both the king and the 8. A lowball player might
say, "When he stood pat, I figured I better draw down,"
or, "When he stood pat, I figured I better draw down to
the hand."
