Lowball poker has been declining in popularity in recent years and is not played frequently nowadays. You are likely to come across only a few online casinos offering Lowball games online. The ones that do offer it normally have the Triple-Draw version. In Lowball poker, the worst hand (in conventional games) is actually the winner. The two most common Lowball variations are Razz and Triple-Draw.

There are several types of rankings to judge the lowest hand. Straight and flushes can and cannot count depending on the ranking (Pairs always count). The four ways to rank the lowest cards are:

Deuce-to-Six Low: In this type of ranking, 2-3-4-5-6 is the best possible hand. Aces are high, while straights as well as flushes don’t count. This type is rarely used in online games.

Deuce-to-Seven Low: 2-3-4-5-7 is the best hand possible. As usual, aces are high, while straights as well as flushes count. This form of the game is called “7-5 low.” The games using this type of เว็บพนันบอล ถูกกฎหมาย ranking include 2-7 Triple Draw, a limited betting game with three drawing rounds, and Kansas City Lowball, a draw poker game usually played as No-Limit.

Ace-to-Five Low: A-2-3-4-5 is considered the best possible hand, commonly known as a “wheel.” The aces are normally low and straights and flushes are not counted. The games using this ranking are California Lowball (Ace-Five Lowball), a limited betting draw poker game with a joker in the deck, and Razz, a low variation of Seven-Card Stud. It is used in Omaha Hi-Lo as well.

Ace-to-Six Low: A-2-3-4-6 is considered the best hand. Aces are low, while straights and flushes do count. This form is also known as “6-4 low” and is used while playing London Lowball, a Pot-Limit Seven-Card Stud variation.

Playing lowball is in fact, a lot of fun, although it can take a while to get used to it incase you normally play high-card games like Omaha and Texas Hold’em.
