in triple draw, does the deal go down? Is it single deck 6-max reshuffle, from a shoot? I get this game except for how to deal it.

I don't think I understnd the question. You deal 5 cards to each player. People draw and redraw up to 3 times.

With a full table of 8 players, that's 40 cards dealt, leaving only 12 for draws, so I guess you are wondering what happens if you run out of cards? I'm honestly not sure (never played it live), but generally people aren't drawing a lot of cards on multiple betting rounds. Most pots tend to be HU or 3 ways, with people drawing 1 or 2 cards, max. If you're drawing more than that, you should be folding.

What happens when there are not enough cards to complete the draw?

Sometimes, there are not enough cards to complete a drawing round. When this happens, the muck has to be reshuffled and the draw is completed after the reshuffle. The cards that are included in the reshuffle are the mucked cards from all previous drawing rounds and the mucked cards of any player who has gotten all of his replacement cards on the current drawing round.

Going back to our previous example, let's say that Player 1 discards 3 cards, Player 2 discards 2 cards and Player 3 discards 1 card. The dealer then deals Player 1 three cards and Player 2 one card. At this point there are no more cards left in the deck. The mucked cards from any previous betting rounds are now shuffled with the discards from Player 1 only. Player 2's discards are not included in the reshuffle since all of his discards were not replaced. This means that it is impossible for a player to ever get his own discards back on a given round of betting.
