Can AA be a low pair and scoop against a pair of deuces?

"Can AA be a low pair and scoop against a pair of deuces?"

Easy - Is this a trick question?

(A five card hand with AA in it wouldn't qualify as a low hand in 7stud8. Neither would a five card hand with a pair of deuces.)

What are the other cards in the hand with AA?

With no qualifer the answer is normally yes, barring any special local rule to the contrary. With an 8 or better qualifer (as most games have) this cannot occur.

Obviously in stud 8 this couldnt' happen- that'll teach me to type late at night.

Didn't know that AA could go low in a split game, though.

thanks

The highest possible low hand in 8-or-better is 8-7-6-5-4

don't need to pound me over the head with it, Klingon warrior.
Pick on a REAL opponent!
