I am new and not sure how to post the picture of the hand.

I’m playing Big O. 5 card PLO hi/lo

I had KK923

Villain:QJJ54

Board:268AT

He takes the low and I take the hi. I don’t understand why. I thought any A23 would be the nuts.

Thanks for your help in advance.

You're down from the 8, they're down from the 6

Yup, your low was counterfeited. Count down from the highest card to the lowest to make it easier to see your and his five card low hand.

Count from the highest card, not up from the lowest. 65421 vs 86321. Lower number wins.

At the end, yes, but in your explanation you started with the ace. It's much more confusing and that particular confusion is exactly why he's asking the question.

Because I was giving the hand vs hand.
