Omaha Hi-Lo (also known as Omaha/8 or better) is frequently seen as one of the most difficult but well-loved poker games. It’s a variation that, even more than regular Omaha poker, aims for play from every level of players. This is the primary reason why a once irrelevant game, has increased in acceptance so quickly.

Omaha/8 begins exactly like a normal game of Omaha. 4 cards are given out to every player. A sequence of betting follows where gamblers can wager, check, or drop out. 3 cards are dealt out, this is known as the flop. A further sequence of wagering happens. After all the gamblers have in turn called or dropped out, another card is revealed on the turn. a further sequence of wagering happens and then the river card is revealed. The players must attempt to make the best high and low 5 card hands based on the board and hole cards.

This is the point where a number of entrants get confused. Contrasted to Texas Hold ‘Em, in which the board can make up every player’s hand, in Omaha hi low the player must utilize exactly three cards on the board, and exactly two cards from their hand. No more, not a single card less. Contrary to regular Omaha, there are 2 ways a pot could be won: the "high hand" or the "low hand."

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

A low hand is more difficult, but certainly opens up the play. When deciding on a low hand, straights and flushes do not count. A low hand is the worst hand that could be made, with the lowest being made up of A-2-3-4-5. Because straights and flushes do not count, A-2-3-4-5 is the lowest value hand possible. The lower hand is any five card hand (unpaired) with an 8 and lower. The low hand takes half of the pot, as does the higher hand. When there’s no lower hand available, the high hand wins the entire pot.

It may seem complicated at first, following a few hands you will be able to pick up on the fundamental nuances of play easily enough. Seeing as you have players wagering for the low and wagering for the high, and seeing as such a large number of cards are being used at once, Omaha/8 provides an exciting array of betting options and seeing that you have several individuals trying for the high hand, and several trying for the low hand. If you enjoy a game with a lot of outs and actions, it is worth your time to play Omaha 8 or better.
