(xx)AA vs. (xx)22 - who's low in Razz?

[7n7]

Excuse the basic question, but I hadn't seen this scenario before.

I introduced Razz into a home game last night and this was the 3rd hand. I got "razzed" for hesitating on who acted first.

Aces are always low, correct? So what does the first player have showing, a pair of 1s? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Aces are always low in razz. AA bets first in this scenario, and AA beats 22 at the showdown. Player 1 has a pair of "Aces."

Thanks much Andy!

This looks like an educational opportunity to post this amusing hand from a couple days ago.
