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

Omaha hi/lo starts just like a regular game of Omaha. Four cards are given out to each player. A round of wagering ensues in which gamblers can bet, check, or fold. 3 cards are dealt out, this is referred to as the flop. A further sequence of wagering ensues. After all the players have either called or dropped out, an additional card is revealed on the turn. a further sequence of wagering happens at which point the river card is flipped. The gamblers will have to make the strongest high and low 5 card hands using the board and hole cards.

This is the point where many players can get flustered. Contrasted to Holdem, where the board can be every player’s hand, in Omaha hi lo the player has to utilize precisely three cards on the board, and precisely two hole cards. No more, not a single card less. Unlike normal Omaha, there are two ways a pot might be won: the "higher hand" or the "low hand."

A high hand is just what it sounds like. It is the best hand out of everyone’s, it doesn’t matter if it is a straight, flush, full house, etc. It is the very same approach in nearly all poker games.

A low hand is more complex, but really free’s up the play. When deciding on a low hand, straights and flushes don’t count. the lowest hand is the weakest hand that can be made, with the lowest value being A-2-3-4-5. Seeing as straights and flushes don’t count, A-2-3-4-5 is the lowest possible hand. The lower hand is any 5 card hand (unpaired) with an 8 and lower. The low hand takes half of the pot, as does the high hand. When there’s no lower hand available, the high hand takes the entire pot.

It may seem difficult at the start, after a couple of rounds you will be agile enough to pick up on the basic nuances of the game with ease. Since you have people betting for the low and wagering for the high, and seeing as such a large number of cards are in play, Omaha hi-low offers an overwhelming collection of wagering possibilities and seeing that you have numerous individuals trying for the high, as well as several shooting for the low. If you love a game with a lot of outs and actions, it’s worth your time to compete in Omaha/8.
