Low Poker
In poker, a variation where the winner is the hand with the lowest rank.
"Low Poker" typically refers to a variant of poker where the objective is to achieve the lowest possible hand rather than the highest. This is often associated with games like "Lowball" or "Razz." In these games, the ranking of hands is different from traditional high poker, with the best possible hand being the lowest combination of cards.
For example, in Razz, the best hand is A-2-3-4-5, and straights and flushes do not affect the ranking of hands. Low Poker games can have specific rules regarding the use of aces and the ranking of cards, and they may also involve betting rounds similar to other poker variants.
It's important to note that "Low Poker" may not refer to a specific game but rather to the concept of playing for low hands in contrast to traditional high-hand poker games.
