Lowball Aces
One of the most valuable skills and strategies that you can develop in London lowball play is to know which starting hands work (and consequently, which ones you can bet or raise on, which should be folded). While ace – two – three – four – six is the best London lowball hand, any hand that has a six high is considered excellent. Use these figures to gauge your bets, raises, and ultimately, if you need to just give it up and save your chips for the next hand. When you do get a good (low) hand, you should play aggressively.
Many professional poker players talk of stealing the ante in London lowball. Ante stealing is best carried out when you reach the higher limits, which won’t happen until you reach fifth street. One way that the ante can be stolen is if the “bring in” player is seated to your left and folds; at this point you should go ahead and complete the bet to have the best chance to steal the ante. This won’t work with https://www.casinoslots.co.nz/ every London lowball hand, but it will work enough to be profitable.
Moving on to fourth street action, each player is dealt another card that is facing up. The player who has the lowest showing hand at this point will be the first to act, which he or she does by betting, checking, or folding. To determine the first player to act, if two players are tied for the lowest hand, the player closest to the left hand of the dealer will be chosen to act first. Again, play will resume clockwise around the poker table. Bets on fourth street are equal to the low limit bet (in our example, $2).
The final card, which is known as the river card, or seventh street, is dealt “down and dirty” or facing down. Again, bets and raises are equal to the high limit. If the dealer has run out of cards to give everyone a final card, a community card is dealt face up in the middle of the table. This community card can be used by all players to make their final hand, which will consist of the best (lowest) five cards that they have been dealt.
The showdown follows seventh street, and remaining London lowball players muck or show their hands. The winner is the player with the lowest five cards.You should delete all of this text and replace it with text of your own.
