With a board showing (3~043~[9~0> the best possible high hand is A-10, which makes 10-J-Q-K-A (an ace high straight). There are no pairs on board; thus there are no fours of a kind or full houses. There isn't three to a suit on the board; thus there are no flushes. So a straight is the best possible high hand, with A-10 being best and 9-10 being second-best. The third-best possible high hand is three kings, followed by all the three-of-a-kind hands. Next we have top two pair, made with K-Q out of the hand. Anyway, you get the idea.
The Importance of A-2 in Your Starting Hand
Now that we've covered how to qualify a low, from combinations of board and hand, and what the best possible low hands are, given certain boards, let's move on to a more complete picture of 08B. We'll turn now to the problem of assessing starting hands.
A few poker professionals believe there is only one two-card combination you could have in your hand that is so promising you would not have to look at your other two hole cards before deciding to play. This combination is A-2. In other words, a lot of top players believe that any hand containing A-2 is playable, regardless of what the other two cards in the hand are. Of course, I would never recommend not looking at the other two cards (although I sometimes don't look). In poker, it's always a good idea to know what your whole hand is!
The importance of starting with an A-2 among the four cards in your hand cannot be underestimated. Some professionals consider it more important than starting with A-A! Often the board will come down with a combination of three low cards of three through eight (like 3-4-5, 4-6-8, 4-5-7, or 3-7-8). When any of these combinations of three through eight hit the board, the best possible low hand is made with the A-2 in your hand. The majority of low boards require that you have an A-2 in your hand to make the nut (best possible) low. That is, most of the time when there is a low-qualified board, A-2 from someone's hand will make the best possible low. This is why most premium 08B hands contain A-2. Of course, with a board of 2-4-7-J-J, A-3 is the best possible low.
