| Yes it is A2458, but A2458 is a worse low than A4567. You reverse the order and take the highest card in the low first in determining which is best. Try reading my Omaha guide. |

| Well, you made the mistake rookie people make with lo. And some of us old timers too. I'm almost as likely (ok, maybe not that much, but occasion) to lose a hand because I misread the hand than because I have a bad hand. There's just so many cards! lol |

Dealer: Dealing cards Dealer: Your cards 4d 7c 5d 7d Dealer: monkeytoes25 checks Dealer: Hockeyking20 folds Dealer: soadwes1 calls $0.10 Dealer: slainte2 calls $0.10 Dealer: Alex916F calls $0.05 Dealer: Player PapaFred has joined the table Dealer: poon checks Dealer: Dealing Flop 2c 3h 3d Dealer: Alex916F checks Dealer: poon bets $0.10 Dealer: monkeytoes25 calls $0.10 Dealer: soadwes1 folds Dealer: slainte2 folds Dealer: Alex916F folds Dealer: Dealing Turn 2c 3h 3d Ac Dealer: poon bets $0.10 Dealer: monkeytoes25 calls $0.10 Dealer: Dealing River 2c 3h 3d Ac Ah Dealer: poon bets $0.10 Dealer: monkeytoes25 calls $0.10 Dealer: poon shows Three of a kind 7h Kc 7s 3s Dealer: monkeytoes25 shows Three of a kind Qc Kd 3c Td Dealer: Player poon wins the Hi with Three of a kind 3s 3h 3d Kc Ac $0.53 Dealer: Player monkeytoes25 wins the Hi with Three of a kind 3c 3h 3d Kd Ac $0.52 Dealer: No qualifying Lo hand Why is there no qualifying lo hand? If i didn't fold my hand, wouldn't i have A2345? While typing this post, i think i understand now... poon nor monkeytoes can make a low hand.... maybe thats why it says no qualifying hand? Anyone? PS - this game is awesome! just need more experience... |
