On a whim, I played $2/4 for an hour and won $90. Maybe I've got silly secret lowball skills. Or maybe nobody has a clue how to play this game, and I have 1/20th of a clue thanks to Doyle Brunson and Daniel Negreanu.
In one lovely hand my opponent raised me after he drew one card on the 2nd draw, this after I had checkraised him after the 1st draw when I made a 87642 on a 2 card draw. I was so baffled by his turn raise that I almost broke my 8 to draw to the 76. Eventually I decided to stand pat, and he quickly stood pat behind me as expected. I check-called him on the river and he showed 8754A which would beat me if we were playing A-5 lowball. But unfortunately, and apparently unbeknownst to him, the Ace plays high in this game and I took down a large pot.
