	Ace-to-five low - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ace-to-five low is the most common method for evaluating low hands in poker, nearly universal in American casinos, especially in high-low split games.
		Another common notation is calling a particular low hand "smooth" or "rough." A smooth low hand is one where the remaining cards after the highest card are themselves very low; a rough low hand is one where the remaining cards are high.
		For low, the joker plays as an ace--the lowest card not in Burt's hand--and his hand also defeats Alice for low, because his low hand is 6-5-4-3-A, lower than her straight six by one notch.

	Ace-to-six low - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is not as commonly used as the ace-to-five low method, but it is common among home games in the eastern United States, and also common in the United Kingdom (it is the traditional ranking of London lowball, a stud poker variant).
		In ace-to-six low, straights and flushes count for high (and are therefore bad), and aces play as the lowest card.
		When speaking, low hands are referred to by their highest ranking card or cards.

	Poker:Basics - Wikibooks
		In a high-low split game, typically a low hand must not have any cards ranked higher than eight and no cards must be paired, or it does not count as a low hand.
		In ace-to-six low, straights and flushes count for high (that is, they're bad), and the best possible hand is A-2-3-4-6 unsuited, since it's the lowest possible card combination that avoids pairing, straights, and flushes.
		Therefore, in deuce-to-seven low, the hand that would make the worst possible high hand in traditional poker is the best possible low hand, and vice versa: a royal flush is the worst possible hand.

		There are three 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.
		Aces are low and straights and flushes are ignored, so the best possible hand is 5-4-3-2-A, called a Wheel.
		Low hands tie more frequently than high hands, especially in Community card games, so it is not uncommon for such a hand to win a small fraction of a poker pot.

		In high-low split, each player, using these rules, thus makes a separate five-card high hand and five-card ace-to-five low hand (eight-high or lower to qualify), and the pot is split between the high and low (which may be the same player).
		To qualify for low, a player must be able to play an 8-7-6-5-4 or lower (this is why it is called "eight-or-better", or simply "Omaha/8").
		In this situation he is often said to be playing his "live" 4, that is, his 4, plus some other low card that matches the board but still makes a low because the one on the board isn't needed.
