This method for evaluating /Low hands is often called "Kansas City" low or just "low poker". It is almost the direct opposite of standard poker: /High hand loses. Aces are always high, and /Straights and /Flushes count for high (and are therefore bad). It's called deuce-to-seven low because the best possible hand is 7-5-4-3-2, followed by 7-6-4-3-2, 7-6-5-3-2, 7-6-5-4-2, 8-5-4-3-2, 8-6-4-3-2, etc. The one exception is that a /Wheel is not considered a straight; A-5-4-3-2 is simply ace-high no pair (it would therefore lose to any king-high, but would defeat A-6-4-3-2).
