question on low hand ......
my friend called me at 2:30 in the morning today to ask me
which low in this particular hand is best, not having recalled very well the rules of O8B I first suggested the A 2 5 6 8 hand was lowest then b/c A 2 x x x beats A 3 x x x and then promptly flip flopped to A 3 4 6 8 being lowest counting down from 8. I'm sorry to ask such an elementary question here, but could not resource an exact answer via other means short of calling a poker room. Plz flame away and help. player 1: A 3 4 Q player 2: A 2 5 J board: A J K 8 6 player 1: plays A 3 4 6 8 for low player 2: plays A 2 5 6 8 for low apparently the argument was pretty heated + lengthy with a huge pot on the line. BTW the low pot was eventually awarded but I will delay in posting who won unless you guys would like to know |

Re: question on low hand ......
Player 1 wins the low pot.
8-6-4 is lower than 8-6-5. |

Re: question on low hand ......
just count it down from the top, and look at the low hand as a number. lowwest number wins. in ur example player 1 has 86,431 and player 2 has 86,521. easy enuff?

Re: question on low hand ......
yes it seems easy now, when I was being asked over ther phone with three guys trying to describe the hand - not so easy, thanks guys
the low pot was awarded to player 1, a third player won high w/ X X 8 8 for trips was a $700+ pot in 1-2 blinds NL omaha |
