A low hand must be five un-paired cards (with the highest card no greater than an 8). According to hand # 744577709, your best low hand was (9,7,3,A,A) however your opponent had(7,5,4,4,2) therefore he won the hand.

Inasmuch as I am at work and can't acces Absolute Poker's web site, do the rules for Razz at AP actually state this regarding "un-paired cards" and "highest card no greater than an 8?"
Obviously (I guess), AP is entitled to make up their own rules for Razz or any other game they deal, but if these are the posted rules, then they have violated their own rules, inasmuch as both hands have paired cards in them. Therefore, it seems to me that the pot either must be chopped, or the hand declared void and all money contributed to the pot is returned to the respective players.
Regardless, the program for Razz still has a bug in it if it declared your friend's hand the loser.
