Lowball
Some forms of poker, often called lowball, sometimes called low poker, reward poor poker hands. There are four common variations on this idea, differing in whether aces are treated as high cards or low cards, and whether or not straights and flushes are used. The methods are: ⁕Ace-to-five low: The lowest possible hand is 5-4-3-2-A, called a wheel. Aces are low and straights and flushes are ignored. This is the most common method. ⁕Ace-to-six low: Also called 6-4 low, since the lowest possible hand is 6-4-3-2-A. Aces are low and straights and flushes count as high hands. ⁕Deuce-to-seven low: Also called 7-5 low, since the lowest possible hand is 7-5-4-3-2. Almost the direct inverse of traditional "high hand" poker. Aces are high and straights and flushes count as high hands. Since aces are high, A-5-4-3-2 is not a straight, but just ace-high no pair. ⁕Deuce-to-six low: The other, mostly unused, possibility would be 6-5 low. Aces are high, straights and flushes are ignored. Some examples of lowball games are: ⁕California Lowball: Draw poker played with A-5 ranking, usually with limit betting, one joker in the deck. ⁕Kansas City Lowball: Draw poker played with 2-7 ranking, usually played no-limit.
