Overview
2-7 Razz (Deuce-to-Seven Razz) is a 7-card stud game where the goal is to make the lowest possible 5-card hand. Unlike A-5 Razz, this uses 2-7 (Kansas City) lowball rules: aces are always high, and both straights and flushes count against your hand. The best possible hand is 7-5-4-3-2 (no flush).

Hand Rankings (Lowest Wins)
Best hand: 7-5-4-3-2 (no flush) — the 2-7 wheel
Aces always count as high — never use an ace for low
Straights count against you: 2-3-4-5-6 = a straight (very bad)
Flushes count against you: five cards of same suit = a flush (very bad)
Pairs, two pair, trips, full houses, quads = all bad — you want unpaired cards
Judge hands from the highest card downward — 7-high beats 8-high
