Loganbigdog - Which low hands and when? A234 is different than A3KK. A3KK is different before the flop than after the flop.

But O.K. here's the pre-flop low situation when you hold A45K, for example, although I don't know as I'd exactly call A45K a low hand.

The pre-flop probability of any low at all for you or anyone else, when you hold A45K, is 0.5830.

The pre-flop probability of low for someone else, but not for you, when you hold A45K, is 0.0878.

The pre-flop probability of making a nut low with A45K is 0.1012.

The pre-flop probability of making a non-nut low with A45K is 0.3940.

The pre-flop probability of making either a nut low or a non-nut low with A45K is 0.4952.

That's just for A45K. Other low hands would be different.

Here's the final math step for a couple of those, rounded off to four digits.
173236/1712304=.1012
674708/1712304=.3940
