Basically, a lowball is actually a hand that is low or poor – it is not a good hand.  So an ace-to-six low would be a 6-4-3-2-A, aces are low and straights and flushes count as high hands.  That is an example of a very poor hand that is considered a ‘lowball’.

Another term that you will hear a lot about is bankroll – that is the amount of money that a player has to wager for the duration of their poker career – a very chip or even a money rich player.  In the next blog, we will explore some more terms!
