More about Omaha Hi / Lo: This variant is a game that is valued worldwide because of its often large pots. Each player in an Omaha Hi / Lo game is given four private cards ("hole cards"). They belong to the player. Five community cards are face up on the "board". To make the best possible five-card poker hand, players use two of their four hole cards in conjunction with three cards from the board. The pot is split between the best hand for high and the best hand for low - hence the name Omaha Hi / Lo. Players use different combinations of two cards from their hand to make their high and low hands. In each hand they use two cards from their hand and three cards from the board - no more and no less.
Omaha Hi / Lo is played with a low hand that requires five different cards. To win the small portion of the pot, a value of eight or less must be achieved. Low hands in Omaha Hi / Lo are determined the same way as in 7 Card Stud Hi / Lo. Unless there is a qualified low hand, the high hand wins the entire pot.
