Prime cards (poker)

Also: Low cards

Poker term

The A-5 cards at the core of a low in Hi-Lo.

A, 2, 3, 4, 5. Holding three or more low cards gives you insurance against being counterfeited and more nut-low combinations. A-2-3-4 ends with the nut low on the river 51% of the time. Cards 6-9 help neither the high nor the low much.
