Omaha Hi-Lo (also known as Omaha/8 or better) is frequently viewed as one of the most difficult but popular poker variations. It’s a game that, even more than normal Omaha poker, aims for play from every level of players. This is the primary reason why a once invisible variation, has grown in acceptance so quickly.

Omaha hi/low begins exactly like a normal game of Omaha. 4 cards are given out to every player. A round of wagering follows in which gamblers can wager, check, or drop out. Three cards are handed out, this is known as the flop. One more sequence of betting happens. After all the players have either called or folded, a further card is revealed on the turn. Another round of wagering ensues at which point the river card is revealed. The gamblers will need to make the best high and low 5 card hands based on the board and hole cards.

This is the point where some players can get flustered. Unlike Texas Hold ‘Em, where the board can be everyone’s hand, in Omaha hi-low the player has to utilize exactly three cards on the board, and precisely 2 cards from their hand. Not a single card more, not a single card less. Unlike regular Omaha, there are two ways a pot may be won: the "high hand" or the "low hand."

A high hand is exactly what it sounds like. It is the strongest hand out of every player’s, whether that is a straight, flush, full house, etc. It is the same approach in just about every poker game.

The lower hand is more complex, but really free’s up the action. When figuring out a low hand, straights and flushes don’t count. the lowest hand is the worst hand that might be made, with the lowest being A-2-3-4-5. Because straights and flushes do not count, A-2-3-4-5 is the worst possible hand. The low hand is any five card hand (unpaired) with an eight and lower. The lower hand wins half of the pot, as just like the high hand. When there is no low hand available, the high hand takes the complete pot.

Although it seems difficult at first, following a couple of hands you will be agile enough to pick up on the fundamental subtleties of the game with ease. Since you have players wagering for the low and wagering for the high, and seeing as so many cards are being used at the same time, Omaha/8 provides an amazing array of wagering possibilities and owing to the fact that you have numerous individuals trying for the high, and many trying for the low hand. If you love a game with all kinds of outs and actions, it’s not a waste of your time to participate in Omaha hi low.
