	Lowball (poker) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some forms of poker, often called lowball, sometimes called "low poker," reward poor poker hands (in the traditional sense).
		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.
		For example, if one player has the high hand on showdown, and two other players tie for the best low hand, the high hand wins half of the pot and each low hand wins only a quarter of the pot.

	High-Low Poker
		As we've seen in the examples, a low hand is defined by the highest card in the hand; someone holding 8-5-4-3-2 would announce he has an 8-low.
		In home poker games, you will very often see hi-lo games played without a qualifier, but instead with a "declare." This means that after all the cards have been dealt out, each player takes two chips out of sight underneath the table, and places either zero, one, or two chips in his hand.
		My final hand was a pair of sixes for high and a King-low for low, and I knew neither of these hands had any chance whatsoever of winning in a showdown.

	Low Hands in Order
		"Low Hand" poker games use a similar method in breaking ties as normal versions of poker, the difference being that the rankings are reversed so that lower values win rather than the highest values.
		Two winners are declared, one being the player with the highest hand and the other the player with the best "qualifying" low hand.
		For the hand to "qualify" as a low hand all of the five cards must have a ranking lower than 8.

	Low Poker Hands - Deuce to Seven Low Poker Rules
		As in all lowball poker games, pairs and trips are bad - that is, any hand with no pair defeats any hand with a pair; one pair hands defeat two pair or trips, etc. No-pair hands are compared starting with the highest ranking card, just as in high poker, except that the high hand loses.
		It's called deuce-to-seven low because the best possible poker hand is 7-5-4-3-2, followed by 7-6-4-3-2, 7-6-5-3-2, 7-6-5-4-2, 8-5-4-3-2, 8-6-4-3-2, etc. When speaking, low hands are referred to by their highest ranking card or cards.
		Any nine-high poker hand can be called "a nine," and is defeated by any "eight." Two cards are frequently used: the hand 8-6-5-4-2 can be called "an eight-six" and will defeat "an eight-seven" such as 8-7-5-4-2.
