Hi/lo or Lo only games

When playing a high low game the pot is split between the best 5 card hand and the worst. The best hand rankings are listed above and below are examples of the lo-hand rankings.

Keep in mind for your lo-hand flushes and straights are not counted, the hand is ranked by the value of your highest and lowest card.

An Ace is always considered the lowest card
eg: a Hand 8 7 6 3 Ace would be considered a 8-7 low hand, the Ace counts as one.

In most games the best lo-hand is 5 4 3 2 A (a wheel) this is a 5-4 hand.

The second best hand is a 6 4 3 2 A this is a 6-4 hand.

If everyone has a pair the lowest pair will win.

In the event that two players hold the same low pair the next lowest card will determine the winner.
