When you have A-2 in your hand, you're hoping to guarantee yourself half the pot by winning the low side and to get lucky somehow, some way, and win the high half as well. Perhaps you will win the high half with a full house, a flush, a straight, trips, two pair, one pair, or even ace high! In 2001, in the World Championships of Omaha (the $5,000 buy-in 08B tournament at the WSOP), I busted out the poker legend T.J.
Cloutier at the final table when my A-J high beat his A-6 high! T.J. started with A-2-5-6, and I started with A-2-5-J. The board brought 3-7-3-3-K, and I won the pot with my A-J and the board of 3-3-3. He had A6-3-3-3 for high, and there was no low on the board! I went on to finish second to another world champion, Scotty Nguyen, even though I had Scotty $490,000 to $60,000 in chips at one point. I simply ran into a really unlucky stretch of cards at that point, although Scotty is considered by many to be one of the best 08B players in the world today. Don't feel too bad for me, though, because second place did pay more than $100,000.
