Flushes don't count against you in Razz, neither do straights.
The nuts are a2345.
You use 5 cards to make the lowest hand possible.
a23910 (This hand is a 10 low)
beats a234J (this hand is a J low).
If both players have same low it goes to the next card.
Example:
a2357 (7 5 low)
a2347 (7 4 Low)
The 7 4 low beats the 7 5 low.
If both players have the same higher low card and same second higher low card it will be determined who has the lowest by the third, forth or fifth cards (going as deep as needed till the card is not matched).
There are other lowball variations of the game where flushes and straights do count against you but typically these games are no called Razz but sometimes the term Razz is used for these games (but it’s rare).
