Lows are compared with their highest card down.

76543 beats 8432A.

At the .50/1.00 level, you can't depend on the poker client to read the hands correctly 100% of the time. At the 5/10 and 10/20 levels, though, the hands do *always* get read correctly by the client--that's where you should be playing.

No, you would have won. 7652A is lower than 76532.

When trying to compare hands...try to see what a hand "adds" to the board. When the board has 3 low cards, you can easily compare players' hands by comparing what low cards they add to the board, since everyone will use the same base 3 cards. So on your board of 567T7, everyone uses a 567 for their low. You added an A4, your opponent added a 23. 23 is better than A4 when deciphering low. Having an A2 to this board would be nut low, so yes, it would win.
