hi
i was playing in a hand where i was playing for the low hand in omaha hi lo.
my cards were Ace, 3, 4, 7. The community cards were 3, 4, 7, 8, Q.
At showdown. the other guy showed 4, 5, 6, 10

Since his low hand was 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and my low hand was Ace, 3, 4, 7, 8, shouldn't i have won the low pot??? my ace was the lowest card. it should not matter if he had a straight for low hand. the lowest possible hand is Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. why did he win the low hand?

You're reading it backwards. He had 76543 for low, you had 87431. An eight-seven is pretty much the worst low hand you can make, and you can only beat a bluff or a hand with no low.

Think of it like hold'em. Ace high beats king high. Eight high beats seven high. Except this is backwards, since you're playing low.

Nope ... you have to play 2 cards so your low is (A3)478 His low playing 2 card is 34(56)7 Your 8 low loses the low side. Rightfully scooped ... even though your low potential was much better pre.

Think of it this way, your highest ( worst in in H/L ) value low card was an 8, is was a 7.

When reading your hand for low always be aware of the highest made number in your five eligible cards. When you draw for low you need to be aware of the possible cards which will lower your highest made number by the river.
