| Five Card Poker Hand Values for Low |
| Note that suits and sequences are irrelevant for low. A flush or straight does not "break" a low poker hand. Aces are the lowest card when considering a low poker hand. |

 |
In the event of a tie:
All Five-high poker hands split the pot. |
|
Six High: Any five unpaired cards with the highest card being a Six. |
 |
In the event of a tie:
The lower second-highest ranking card wins the pot. Thus 6, 4, 3, 2, A defeats 6, 5, 4, 2, A. If necessary, the third-highest, fourth-highest and fifth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie. |

 |
In the event of a tie:

|
| An Eight High is the weakest poker hand that qualifies for low in games where the pot is split between the best high and low hands. |
