"If three players go low and table 7-6-4-3-2, 7-4-3-2-A, and 6-5-4-2-A, then the player with the six low would win the whole pot since no hand meets the qualifier."
"I was in the big blind and looked at Q-8-7-6-4 and paused for a moment. My draw to a qualifying low here is quite marginal."
In the mixed poker game variant Archie, players pursue both high and low hands with specific qualifiers: a pair of nines for high and an eight low using five cards for low. Players receive three draws to improve their hands. The article discusses a recent $20-$40 hand at the Wynn, focusing on a player's decision-making process in a tough situation on the river. With detailed examples, it illustrates the dynamics of hand qualifying and pot allocation in this unique poker variant.
