These are sometimes referred to as the “back hand” (high hand) and the “front hand” (low hand). • It is still very important to make the strongest possible value with both your high and low hands. • Don’t be confused by the poker usage of the term “low hand”. In poker, the lower a low hand is, the stronger it is. In pai gow, the higher a low hand is, the stronger it is. A low hand is only called a low hand because it is lower than the high hand. Theoretically your low hand could be the second best hand possible (if you were dealt precisely a gee joon pair and a teen pair)! • The player makes no official announcement of his high and low hand, he simply organizes his four
