Omaha Hi Lo

The Play: This game is played just like regular Omaha, except the high hand and the low hand split the pot. To qualify for the low hand an eight low or better (lower) is needed. If there is no qualifying low hand, the high hand takes the entire pot. Aces may be used for low, and straights and flushes do not impair the value of a hand for low. (Ace-two-three-four-five is the best low hand). The Object: Players MUST use two cards from their hand, combined with three cards from the board to make their best possible hand. A player may use two cards from their hand to make the best high hand, and use two cards, whether the same as his/her hand or not, to make their best low hand.
