This is one of the wild card games we play at our Thursday night Oak Point poker game ( see Wild Card Poker: Hot Potato, and Wild Card Poker: Killer 55 for others).

This is also called "razz" with high in the hole wild. This is dealt like 7 card stud, two cards down, one up, round of betting, three more cards face up with betting after each, one card face down and then the final betting round.

The winner is the hand with the best five card "low": A 2 3 4 5 is the best possible hand (called "the wheel") and A 2 3 4 6 would be the next best hand. It can also be played with a split pot, with the high and low hand splitting.

The twist is that the highest card in your face down cards is wild, as are any matches of it. So if you have a King in your down cards, and a King in your face up cards, you have two wild cards to use in making your low.

Remember, straights don't count in this game: 2 3 4 5 6 is a good low.
