Two-Three ( poker ) -In lowball, an agreement between two players that when the two of them are the only ones to remain in an otherwise unopened pot (which might happen when one has the middle blind and the other the big blind), one will open blind for two bets, and the other will raise to three bets.

Two-Twenty-Two ( poker ) -A stud game (sort of), played only in home games, in which each player is dealt a down card, followed by a round of betting, and then one or more cards face up. Aces have a value of 1 or 11, face cards a value of , and all other cards have face value. This is a split-pot game, with the object being to end up with a total closest to 2 or 22. On each round, players can either receive a further upcard, or refuse further cards. After any round in which no player takes a card, the players declare which "way" they are going (2 or 22, sometimes called high or low), and there is a showdown. (Sometimes there is one more round of betting before the showdown.) In some versions, once a player refuses up cards a certain number of times (say, three), that player can no longer request further cards. The purpose of this rule is that when a player is in a "lock" (cannot lose) situation, that is, when he is the only one going low, and there are more than one player going high, and who have quit asking for up cards, the player with the lock can prolong the betting by drawing cards to a point at which he cannot hit without destroying his lock. In some games, being on one side or the other of 2 or 22 (when no one has exactly that total) wins over the other side. For example, in some games, 1 loses to 2, while in others, the reverse is true. The best hand is two aces, so that the hand simultaneously adds up to 2 and 22. This is a virtual lock scoop hand, but one that can be beat, so a player must be somewhat careful at declare time in a game in which the rules dictate that a player who declares for both ways must clearly win both ways (that is, cannot tie for either). While this is not really a poker game, it is popular in some home games (because it has many of the elements of poker, including bluffing), though less common than seven-twenty-seven and three-thirty-three.

Two-Way Call ( poker ) -A hand that wins both ways in any high-low pot.

Two-Way Hand ( poker ) -1) In draw poker played with the 52-card deck, an open-ended straight; so called because it can be made by two ranks. 2) In draw poker, a hand with two possible ways of drawing, such as four cards to a straight or four to a flush (but not the same for both draws). 3) In lowball, an 8, 9, or 10 (that is, a hand topped by one of those cards) that can be broken under pressure. 9-4-3-2-A is a breaking hand, because you can throw the 9 and draw to a wheel; 9-8-7-3-A is not, because there really is no place to break. 4) In high-low split-pot games with a declare, a hand that can declare (but not necessarily win) both ways. 5) In high-low split-pot games without a declare (that is, those in which cards speak), a hand that wins both ways.
