Hi guys,

Which one of these hands wins the low in 7 card stud hi/lo?

A 2 4 7 8 or
2 3 4 6 8

I'm 90% certain it's 2,3,4,6,8. Anyone know for certain?


Pa

As spot said, you're correct. If it helps, think about the hand in terms of a 5-digit number with each card as one digit, written highest to lowest.

One hand you have 86,432, the other hand you have 87,421. From here it's easy to see which one is smaller.

People often get confused by counting from the low card up and wondering how they lost when they had an ace and the other player had a two.

So for my own mind, because the 6 is lower than the 7, that is reason that hand wins? Right?

This hi/lo always confuses me, had it to a tee a few years back, but strayed away from it!

thanks. very_happy

Yes, the 87653 loses to 86543 because 87 is higher than 86.

Lowball games are like figuring kickers only the lower hand wins.

A A K 7 4 is a higher hand than A A K 6 5, so if you had those for Razz hands, the A A K 6 5 would win because it's lower.
