(Ace-two- three-four-five is the best low hand).
The Object:
Players MUST use two cards from their hand, combined with three cards from the board to make their best possible hand. A player may use two cards from their hand to make the best high hand, and use two cards, whether the same as his/her hand or not, to make their best low hand.

High-low split games use the lower betting limit on the third and fourth cards and the upper limit on the rest of the hand, with an open pair not affecting the limit on the fourth card as in Seven Card Stud high only. Aces may be used for low, and straights and flushes do not impair the value of a hand for low. (Ace-two-three-four-five is the best low hand).
