5 low cards uner 8 qualify for lo and tehn hi is just the best hand, and then split unless there is no qualifying lo hand then its all yours!

try out this link http://ehutchison.homestead.com/omahasystem.html, it should help understand the basics. pretty much, play tighter than you think you should. too many people play so much in omaha, and especially H/L, but if you get the basic hands down, it should be pretty simple to play.

OH8 is my favorite game to play, why? There are so many players out there who play it without having a clue what they're doing.

Each player gets 4 cards, and after that everything is done exactly as in Texas Hold'em. However, when you make your hands at the end you absolutely have to use 2 cards from your 4 in your hand. No more, No less. That's the aspect that confuses most players. Other than that, you're playing poker. Remember in Omaha that big hands are the rule. It's a game of fullhouses getting destroyed by other fullhouses, it's very common.

A low pot consists of 5 cards 8 or less, suits aren't taken into account and neither is it if you have a straight although an Ace-5 straight is a powerful OH8 hand. Your low hand cards and your high hand cards don't have to be the same 2 cards from your hole cards....

Hope that helps

Justin

maderj said it best....SOOOO SOOO SOOO MANY bad omaha hi/lo players...I LOVE IT....man i make some serious cash online playin that came. ALL bad players stay in for gutshots and with two pair(even the low pair) and they love to go all in with JUST an A/2 not even suited. So LEARN to play this game and master it. I did and i've cashed out for over $1000 twice within 3 months.

i like OHL.

for fun and if people are willing to do this...play OHL face up. everyone puts in a dollar, then deal the cards face up and however has the best hand wins and if theres a split, then the 2 take the pot.

fun times.

i belive omaha is the best game if ur a tight player because in low there almost always seems to be a low hand when i have a monster so i split pots.

cash game in Omaha Hi / Lo is not profitable. Rake eats up a lot of money.
I play sit and go or MTT

this is a very fun game, the principle of the game is to collect strong and weak combinations.

You want to scoop the pot. You want to play hands that can win both the high hand and the low hand.
