Lowball (poker) - Lowball Variants

Lowball Variants

The most popular forms of lowball are ace-to-five lowball (also known as California lowball), and deuce-to-seven lowball (also known as Kansas City lowball). Ace-to-five lowball gets its name because the best hand at that form is 5-4-3-2-A. Deuce-to seven lowball gets its name because the best hand at that form is 7-5-4-3-2 (not of the same suit).
