• Texas Hold 'em,
• Omaha hi-low eight or better, 
• Razz,
• Seven Card Stud, and
• Seven card stud hi-low Eight or better.

About the Low in H/L games. A qualifying low hand requires:

• Five unpaired cards, all with ranks at or below 8. 
• Aces are considered low for the low hand.
• Flushes and straights are ignored for the low, meaning the best low possible is A-2-3-4-5 regardless of suits.
• Low hands are counted from the top down, meaning the hand is only as good as its highest card. For example: A  2  3  4  5  is lower than 2  3  5  6  7 
• Any hand with a pair, or with a card higher than 8, does not qualify, even if the rank of the pair is below 8.
