I think the worst holding is AQJT9.

The winning hand is 29o. The board is AQJT7. The other hands are:
23
23
23
83
45
45
45
45
68

Edit: I think I misunderstood the question. My solution is the worst 2-card holding that still wins. NOT the worst possible 5 card hand. Sorry [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

This is extremly frustrating.

Basically you need 5 'free' cards in order to make up the 10 hands that don't connect with the board. I can't see any other way to get the board lower without bunching the cards too close and losing one of the free cards.

Good puzzle though

Oh and by the way if this is one of those smart-alec puzzles where it turns out we're playing low poker and 2-7 wins it then I'll be unhappy. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
