NO SNIVELING

• In other words, no backing in to winning hands
• If you go BOTH, you MUST win both halves
  outright
• If you go BOTH and lose to any hand, high or low,
  you are out
• The only exception is tying on a 6-4-3-2-1 Low.
  (House rule You cannot be penalized for going
  both with a perfect low hand)
• If you lose to a player going for a BOTH hand,
  you are out--even if another player beats the
  BOTH hand for the other half of the pot. In that
  case, the whole pot goes to the only player to
  beat the BOTH hand

Whats a Freakin Low?

• The worst possible hand you can get.
• 6-4-3-2-1 in mixed suits is the best. No
  straight, no flush, no nuthin--just crap.
• 1-2-3-4-5 is a STRAIGHT, unless called before the
  deal of a specific game by the dealer
• If you go Low with a high hand, the opposite
  order of Hand Hierarchy applies (1 Pair beats 2
  Pair, etc.)
