Rank of Hands in Lowball Poker
 

In lowball games the worst conventional poker hand wins.  There are two common varieties of low games Deuce to Seven (2-7) and Ace to Five (A-5).  In both games the hand with lowest five cards but in 2-7 straights and flushes are counted as high hands and an Ace is always the highest card.  In Ace to Five low the Ace is the lowest card and straights and flushes are meaningless.  Hands are compared from highest card down.  Listed below is the order of hands for each respective game. In the event that two players have a hand of the same rank the pot is split between them.  Ties are more common in low games then they are in high card games.
