Thank U 4 Posting

You have fallen into the trap most have fallen into when we first start to play a new game. If this pot was split it is because you are not playing PLO but PLO8. Which is a split pot game high and low. The Villain had A4 for best low hand you won high with the full house.

ACR spreads PLO 8 which is 8 handed PLO high and they spread PLO8 which is a 6 handed high low game. I have been caught up by a quick glance while playing multiple tables and played the wrong game for an orbit or 2 LOL.

Hope this helps

Obligatory "everyone loves a chop pot".

Yeah, don't play PLO when you are in a PLO8 tourney, it won't turn out well unless you make a lot of full houses.

I've actually done the opposite and was doing pretty well until I flopped the nut low (or so I thought) lol.

Good luck!

I just read a couple of replies.

ALWAYS check the Omaha table carefully to determine whether it's a PLO table or a PLO8 table.

I've fallen into that trap before as well...
