How to Play: 7-7 High-Low

Description:

In “7 Low” poker variants, the objective is to achieve the lowest possible hand with the following rules:

  • The best possible 7 Low hand is A-2-3-4-5 (also known as a “wheel” or “number 1”).
  • Flushes and straights do not count against the low hand, and suits are also irrelevant.
  • Ace can be considered as both high and low.

3 7s or Better:

In “3 7s or Better” poker games, the objective is to make a hand that is at least as good as three of a kind (three 7s or higher).

  • Hands that qualify in “3 7s or Better” poker include three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush, or royal flush.
  • Hands such as two pair, one pair, and high cards do not meet the criteria to win the pot.

Players compete to make the best possible hand that includes at least three of a kind or better to be eligible to win the pot.

These rules outline the fundamental principles of playing “7 Low” and “3 7s or Better” variants of poker, ensuring clarity and fairness in determining winning hands.
