This means that 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x , for example, is a very bad hand. It is not considered a 6-low. It is a straight and is therefore worse than holding AKQJ9. The best possible hand you can make is 7 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x with no flush. This hand is called a wheel or Number 1. The next best hand is 7 x 6 x 4 x 3 x 2 x , again with no flush. This hand is often referred to as Number 2. Likewise, 7 x 6 x 5 x 3 x 2 x is referred to as Number 3 and so on. Because Aces play for high A x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x is not a straight. It is the best possible Ace-low you can make-also called the Nut Ace. 8 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x is the Nut 8 or Eight-Perfect. 9 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x is the Nut 9 or Nine-Perfect and so on.

Difference Between Perfect, Smooth and Rough in 2-7 Triple Draw You will often hear 2-7 Lowball Draw players refer to hands as either perfect, smooth or rough. But what do these terms mean? Perfect When a player describes their hand as perfect they mean that they are making the lowest possible hand for their highest card. Let us explain. If someone announced 'Ten Perfect' this would be they held a 10 x along with 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x , making it the best ten they could make. The next best hand would be the worst nine. Similarly, if someone declared 'Nine Perfect' they would hold the best possible nine 9 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x This is usually used for any perfect hand apart from 7 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x where a player would declare 'Wheel' or 'Number 1'. Smooth Smooth refers to having a very good low end of your hand. For example, a player might say that they hold an 'Eighty-Six Smooth'. This would refer to a player holding 8 x 6 x along with 4 x 3 x 2 x . Similarly, someone could announce a 'Ten-Eight Smooth' which would be 10 x 8 x along with 4 x 3 x 2 x - the best bottom end of a ten. Rough A rough hand is the opposite of a smooth hand, and refers to when a player has a bad high-end of their hand. For example, a player might say that they hold a 'Rough Nine' where their hand is 9 x 8 x 7 x 4 x 2 x . This would indicate that their Nine wasn't a particularly good one.
