Omaha Hi-Lo (also known as Omaha 8 or better) is commonly seen as one of the most difficult but popular poker variations. It’s a variation that, even more than normal Omaha poker, invites play from all levels of players. This is the main reason why a once obscure game, has expanded in popularity so quickly.

Omaha 8 or better starts just like a regular game of Omaha. Four cards are handed out to each player. A round of wagering ensues where gamblers can wager, check, or drop out. Three cards are handed out, this is referred to as the flop. Another sequence of wagering ensues. Once all the gamblers have either called or folded, an additional card is flipped on the turn. an additional round 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 based on the board and hole cards.

This is where many entrants often get confused. Unlike Holdem, where the board can be everyone’s hand, in Omaha hi lo the player has to use exactly three cards on the board, and precisely 2 cards from their hand. No more, no less. Contrary to regular Omaha, there are two ways a pot may be won: the "higher 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. It is the identical notion in nearly every poker game.

The lower hand is more complicated, but really opens up the play. When determining a low hand, straights and flushes do not count. A low hand is the worst hand that can be made, with the lowest value being A-2-3-4-5. Because straights and flushes do not count, A-2-3-4-5 is the smallest value hand possible. The low hand is any 5 card hand (unpaired) with an 8 and smaller. The lower hand wins half of the pot, as does the higher hand. When there is no low hand available, the high hand takes the complete pot.

It may seem difficult at the start, following a few hands you will be agile enough to pick up on the base subtleties of play with ease. Since you have individuals wagering for the low and wagering for the high, and since so many cards are being used at the same time, Omaha hi/lo offers an amazing assortment of wagering possibilities and because you have several individuals trying for the high hand, along with a few trying for the low. If you enjoy a game with a plethora of outs and actions, it’s not a waste of your time to participate in Omaha/8.
