Hi all , im new to the forum and a beginner in poker. To kickstart in an omaha game variant the community cards are:
:8c4: :8h4: :7s4: :jh4: :qh4:


Player 1 cards: :2s4: :3d4: :6h4: :4c4:

Player 2 cards: :5c4: :6d4: :2h4: :4s4:

Who will be winner ? or would it be a split pot ?

Hi all , im new to the forum and a beginner in poker. To kickstart in an omaha game variant the community cards are : C8 ,H8,S7,H11,H12 .
Player 1 cards - S2 ,D3 ,C6,C4 and Player 2 cards - C5,D6,H2,S4 .
Who will be winner ? or would it be a split pot ?

It looks like...

:8c4: :8h4: :7s4: :jh4: :qh4:

player 1 :2s4: :3d4: :6c4: :4c4:

player 2 :5c4: :6d4: :2h4: :4s4:

The board plays for both, split pot:)

Thank you Dave! I fixed the OP too for anyone else coming into the thread for the first time. For everyone who would like to know how to display your cards like that: Playing Cards Images BBCode (Suit Symbols)

As for the hand, in Omaha you must use 2 of your hole cards, no more, no less to make the best five card hand. So...

Player 1's hand would be: :8c4: :8h4: :qh4: :6c4: :4c4:

Player 2's hand would be: :8c4: :8h4: :qh4: :6d4: :5c4:

So I could be very wrong (but just look at my signature...;) ) but I think player 2 wins.

player 2 wins because their best hand is 88Q65 vs player one's best hand: 88Q64

Player 2 wins playing his 65 in his hand for the best hand in Omaha.

I overlook this sometimes. I am just learning omaha. I think I have a flush what there are 4 on the board and 1 in my hand. Idiot

The entire bank was won by the second player on the senior card 56, the first player has a card 46. There is no low combination, because there are only 2 low cards on the board.

In Omaha, no matter what, you have to play the best two cards in your hand. This being said player 2 has the best possible hand with the 56 over the 64. For a hand of Q8856. Just remember that no matter what you have to play 2 cards out of your hand to win, this might save you in future spots or help you realize why it was not a split.

On flush/paired/quad boards usually there is one clear winner. I see split pots mostly when two or more players share the same broadway straight or other straight Remember that in Omaha you have to use two of your hole cards. Cannot play the entire board or 4 community cards like in HE

Those two hands would have folded by the river. Great hands for 2-7 draw though
