We are going to pick up a low, a low draw, or at least a pair on fourth and fifth street around 80-90 percent of the time thus our equity realization is quite high. Having at least a pair of fives is preferable, because when we get involved with a low hand it reduces the probability of them beating us for high by pairing one of their low cards. Slightly better versions such as (2 4) 7 or (5 3) 7 offer more high potential and can also make slightly better lows, however it’s important to not overrate them. When we are up against a high pair other than kings a re-raise is even clearer as we have more equity associated with possible over card outs. With live cards against this strong range we still have around 48-percent equity and with an ace kicker with some low potential we are almost always going to the river.

A four-card low with an ace is a through ticket to seventh street, as is any small pair with an ace kicker although the latter hand should be folded if it appears the villain has made trip kings. In addition, we hold the betting advantage on seventh street due to the implied odds of making hidden aces up or three fives.
