A small hi-lo tournament. I bet this one hurt for the guy with the ace flush; glad I stayed out.

Does anyone know the odds for hitting a straight flush or a royal at this game? Obviously considerably higher than at hold 'em.

Happens all the time in Omaha and PLO8. That's what makes it exciting. It really is a game of having the absolute nuts to know you will win.

What? What A high flush? Other guy had 8s full.
Which is a relly small fullhouse.
So really no surprise here.
And nobody was hurt.
Everything is just as it should be in Omaha.

No, not absolute nuts. Franckly Omaha is a fantastic game to catch donkeys.
Like in the pic on the first post. I mean Full House is very common in Omaha. If there is a pair and several players in hand - there gota be a Full House.
And in this example guy had the lowest one possible. So no wonder he lost.

I don’t know the odds exactly, but the straight flush looks good everywhere (except Razz).
It sure is significantly more common than in holdem.
But in PLO8, it's better to start with hands that have a chance of winning the low pot, because if you look at the PLO8 game type, your opponent will win more often with that hand.
But your straight flush certainly shows well.

A to 5 at razz takes some beating!

I missed another royal flush last night. Have posted the screengrab on my blog. Cashed, so not so bothered.
