Hi,

I'm totally confused as to how the LOW is determined.
I think too many people have their own interpretation, which
undoubtedly leads to many arguments/fights, etc.

Now, I know there are pro players here, and appeal my question to
them.

Please indicate who is the winner of the Lo, in the following
scenarios:

In all scenarios, you and I are playing 7 stud hi lo:

Round 1:
I have: A, 2, 3, 4 , 7 , Q, K
You have: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, J, Q

Round 2:
I have 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, J, Q
You have: A, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, Q

Round 3:
I have : A, 2, 3, 7, 9 , 10, J
You have: A, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, J

If I've left out a scenario which you think is important, please
indicate.

Thanks,
Jim

To apply Access to this problem, first you have to make a
design decision about whether an A is a Hi or a Low (I
assumed A is Low above), then create a table with the names
and rank of each entity. Using a Join from that table to
what you have, it should be relatively straightforward to
put together an SQL statement that calculates your score.
Similarly, calculate my score and then just compare the two
to determine the winner ;-)
