I have recently been getting quite into the HORSE games online. Now i've played Hold-Em (limit and no limit) for years, picked up Omaha hi in no time and am getting pretty good at Razz. Stud is still a bit of a blank spot, but i'm getting there.
What I dont quite get is where the cut off is between hi and lo hands.
Often, in Omaha hi-lo there is no low hand, and the whole pot gets shipped to the high hand, why is this? What constitutes a low hand? Someone mentioned that it was 5 cards, without having any paired, lower than 8, but this just doesn't seem to add up. If this is right, does it differ in Stud hi-lo? i'm sure i've seen hands win with anything up to 10 high there. Particularly if i've been dealt 4 great cards to start, say A 2 3 4 for arguments sake, and bet the pot but never improved, yet still won it after rivering a 9 say.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Kev
