It is very widely considered that being able to recognize players is the most influential factor in poker and lowball games are no exceptions.  Lowball games are those that are played for lows and in most cases of bluffing the tactic that is often used against a potential opponent is by pretending on a kind of desperation for a good card and by making strong bets anticipating a better card.  When such bets are made the probable reaction by the opponent will be to liquidate his chips by making an equal contribution or my assessing that the opponent is desperate and might win on a miracle card.

Being able to control the bet, call and raise based on the table and probabilities is one of the important lowball tips and the same might be applicable to high rank games also.  Playing the cards that are very closer to 8 can turn to be very expensive and this is one of the important of the lowball tips.
