Razz Poker

Razz, a variant of stud poker which is seven card stud played for low. (Ace-to-five low is the variation usually played).

Razz is a seven-card stud poker game where instead of the highest hand winning, the lowest or worst hand wins the pot.

The lowest hand in Razz is A-2-3-4-5, because straights and flushes don't count against a hand being low, and aces are counted as low. The ace to five straight is also called "the bike" or "the wheel," and is the best possible low hand.

Unlike split-pot hi-lo games like Omaha, Razz doesn't have an "eight or better" component to it's play. In an hi-lo eight-or-better game, the winning low hand cannot have a card higher than 8 in it to count as a low hand -- but since Razz is a game with only a low hand winning, any hand can win, including hands with low pairs.
