In Hi-Lo games, the low hand that wins half the pot.
Separate from the high hand (a normal strong hand), the 5 lowest cards make the best low. In Omaha Hi-Lo and Stud 8 you can make one only with 5 different ranks of 8 or lower (8 or better). Example. A♠ 2♦ 3♣ 4♥ 5♠ is the best low (the wheel) and 8-7-6-5-4 is the worst. If nobody can make a low, the high hand takes the whole pot. Winning both halves (a scoop) is the biggest win, so a hand that can only make the low is worth less. Razz (A-5 low) and the 2-7 games play for the low only.
