Omaha Hi Lo
In this game the player with the best five-card hand for high wins half the pot, and the player with the best hand for low wins the other half. In Omaha, players must use two and only two of their four hole cards in combination with three cards from the board. In the event of identical hands, the high and low shares of the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands. In the event that no hand qualifies for low, the best hand(s) for high wins the pot.
For a five card hand to qualify for low, it can not include cards higher than 8 or contain any pairs and the five low card can not make any Straight or any Flash. Aces can be used for both high and low. When comparing low hands, the winner is the hand with the lowest high card, thus 2, 4, 5, 6,7 is better than Ace, 2, 3, 4, 8. The best possible low hand is Ace, 2, 3, 4, 6. The betting, blinds and postings are exactly the same as in Omaha.
