This method evaluating
/Low hands is common among home games in the eastern
United States, and also common in the
United Kingdom (it is the traditional ranking of [London lowball]
?, a
stud poker variant). Aces are treated as low, and
/Straights and
/Flushes count for high (and are therefore bad). The best possible hand is therefore
6-4-3-2-A, followed by
6-5-3-2-A,
6-5-4-2-A,
6-5-4-3-A,
7-4-3-2-A,
7-5-3-2-A, etc.
