in my weekly home game we play a game called low in the hole in a 7-card format. the player in question had the ace of spade and two fours in the hole. the basic rules of poker state an ace can be low in a straight. we also have a house rule stating aces can be used low in all situations (e.g.
low card in the hole). at the showdown the player in question flips his
cards and declares his two fours low and therefore wild. he matches his
two fours with the 3 and 5 of spades and use his hole ace of spades to declare a straight flush. half the table maintains he has an ace high flush
only saying he could not use the ace low after declaring the fours low the
rest maintain the right to use an ace low in a straight is a basic poker rule and not "declared" just always an option.
