Razz Lowball Dealer Round

Play lowball stud with the same four-up, three-down deal, but the lowest five-card hand wins. Aces are low and straights and flushes do not count, so A-2-3-4-5 is the best possible hand.

Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw Night

Deal five cards and play three draw rounds; the worst traditional hand wins. Aces are high and straights and flushes count against you, so 7-5-4-3-2 in at least two suits is the best possible hand.
