Ace-Five
Triple Draw Lowball
|
Ace-Five Lowball consists of 4 betting rounds and five cards dealt face down to each player just as in 5 Card Draw. However in Ace-Five Lowball you can draw three times which allow for four different bet sessions. One when you receive your first for cards and one each time you draw. Your goal in Ace-Five lowball is to make the lowest 5 cards you can with the Ace being the lowest possible card. So the best possible hand would be Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5. Straights and flushes do not count for anything and they don't hurt you either. If you end up with and Ace, 3, 5, 6, 7 and someone else had the same exact 5 cards but they are all hearts, their hand is equal to yours and in that case the pot would be split in half. Below is a real example of a player's Ace-Five lowball hand during an on-line game. |
