Along these lines, which is the winning low in this scenario (for any game that does low, not just omaha):
A 2 3 6 7
A 3 4 5 7
I know which one I believe is winning low, but curious which is right. I think different online sites figure their winning lows differently since I lost a low hand once that I think I should have won.

hunter | The lowest would be A2346. A2345 is a straight, as is 45678 and 23456. Or is there no rule for straights? |

Now its easy to tell which is the lower hand . I think this is a good way to look at it - regardless of what Jojo says!  |

I think Razz and 7CS H/L can be played this way also.
Nothing like playing Triple Draw one way when the rest of the table is playing the other way, duh.  |

Yeah, that's what PS said was the better hand. I could swear though that one of the sites, UB I think it was, would do the A2 as a lower low. Quote: |

It can be confusing especially when you get 4 or 5 low cards and your A23K loses to a KQ65 when the board shows A3478. |
