Default Re: Stupid question - what is a \"LO\"?

in hi/lo games, the best low hand is A-5(straights don't count agains the low). So you start at your highest card (8 or lower) and work your way back to see who has the best hand. Whoever has the lower card where the first difference is wins.

A2345 best
A2346 worse
A2356 worst
etc.

In triple draw straights aren't low hands if you are playing 2-7, but that's another topic.


EDIT: To answer your question
A2348 8 high with a 4 kicker (3)
A2368 8 high with a 6 kicker (4) worst
A3467 7 high (2)
23456 6 high (1) best

hope this makes some sense.
