Seven Stud Hi Low ( poker )

This game plays the same as Seven Card Stud except that the player with the lowest hand gets half the pot. (See Low) This varient is an Ace to 5 low hand, where straights and flushes are not counted in the low hand. This means that a wheel will most likely win the pot. Pairs and trips count against you in the low hand. Thus when evaluating ^AH ^2H ^3D ^3C ^4S ^9S ^JS, we throw the ^3C out leaving you with a 9 low hand. If it is impossible to get 5 cards out of the seven without having a pair then your hand is evaluated as the worst possible poker hand, usually leaving you with a pair or worse.
