There should not have been any low since at least 3 cards HAVE to play from the board and the lowest 3 are A2T.

...so that's why you win the whole pot, it isn't split if nobody has a qualifying low...5 different low cards, 2 of which are in hand, that are all 8 and under.

Just to re-iterate. Only hands up to 8-high can qualify for a low hand. So there must be three different cards on the board that are 8 or lower or there is no low hand and the high hand takes it all (which you did).

Thanks for the confirmation...I was wondering if a 10 or 9 qualified when I first started playing hi/lo. Now I know but it would have saved me a little money had I known.

Wow, so Omaha Hi/Lo adds even a little more to the card game than just Omaha Hi does when comparing to Hold em. I like Omaha HI, I did pretty well the first few freerolls I have played. It is a very cool game though. Good luck on your adventure.

Thanks for everyone who helped me clear this up. I figured that each hand MUST have a low, had no idea that you had to have 5 cards below an 8. Time for some more Hi/Lo practice!!
