Hi‑Lo
Hi-lo is the name for poker games in which the pot is split between the best high hand and the best qualifying low hand. If one player has both the best high and the best low, he wins the whole pot. The best-known examples are Omaha hi-lo and seven-card stud hi-lo.
High Hand
The high hand is the best hand in a round of poker. In hi-lo games, the high hand wins one half of the pot, and in some casinos a high hand jackpot pays the best hand of the hour.
HORSE
HORSE is a mixed game that rotates through five poker variants: Hold'em, Omaha hi-lo, Razz, seven-card stud and seven-card stud hi-lo (eight or better). It is usually played with fixed limits, and the letters of its name are the first letters of the games.
Low Hand
A low hand is a hand that wins by being the lowest. In hi-lo games it takes half the pot, and in lowball games it takes all of it. In many games the best low hand is A-2-3-4-5, known as the wheel.
Lowball
Lowball is a form of poker in which the lowest hand wins the pot. Variants include ace-to-five lowball and deuce-to-seven lowball, which rank hands differently.
Quartered
Quartered means that you win only a quarter of the pot in a hi-lo game, because you tie for one half of the pot with another player. For example, if you and another player share the nut low, each of you takes a quarter, while the high hand takes half.
Razz
Razz is a form of seven-card stud in which the lowest hand wins. Aces are low, and straights and flushes do not count against you, so the best possible hand is A-2-3-4-5, called the wheel.
Rolled Up
Rolled up is a term for seven-card stud: a player is dealt three of a kind in his first three cards. It is a very strong start.
Wheel
The wheel is the straight A-2-3-4-5, the lowest possible straight, where the ace counts as a low card. In lowball and hi-lo games it is also the best possible low hand.
Wild Card
A wild card is a card that can be used as any rank, for example a joker. Games with wild cards, such as deuces wild, change the hand rankings, since a hand like five of a kind becomes possible.
