Omaha Hi-Lo (also known as Omaha/8 or better) is commonly seen as one of the most complex but well-loved poker variations. It is a variation that, even more than regular Omaha poker, invites play from every level of players. This is the chief reason why a once obscure variation, has grown in popularity so rapidly.

Omaha 8 or better begins just like a regular game of Omaha. Four cards are given out to every player. A sequence of wagering ensues where players can bet, check, or fold. 3 cards are given out, this is called the flop. Another round of betting ensues. Once all the gamblers have in turn called or dropped out, an additional card is revealed on the turn. an additional sequence of wagering follows and then the river card is flipped. The players will need to make the strongest high and low five card hands based on the board and hole cards.

This is the point where some entrants often get baffled. Unlike Holdem, in which the board can be every player’s hand, in Omaha hi lo the player has to use exactly 3 cards on the board, and precisely two cards from their hand. No more, no less. Contrary to normal Omaha, there are 2 ways a pot may be won: the "high hand" or the "low hand."

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

The lower hand is more complicated, but certainly free’s up the play. When figuring out a low hand, straights and flushes don’t count. the lowest hand is the worst hand that can be made, with the worst being made up of A-2-3-4-5. Considering that straights and flushes do not count, A-2-3-4-5 is the worst possible hand. The lower hand is any five card hand (unpaired) with an eight and below. The lower hand wins half of the pot, as just like the higher hand. When there’s no lower hand available, the high hand wins the whole pot.

While it seems complicated initially, following a few rounds you will be agile enough to pick up on the basic nuances of the game simply enough. Seeing as you have people wagering for the low and wagering for the high, and seeing as so many cards are in play, Omaha hi/low offers an exciting assortment of betting choices and seeing that you have several players battling for the high hand, along with many trying for the low. If you love a game with a considerable amount of outs and actions, it’s worth your time to participate in Omaha High-Low.
