Omaha Hi Low Poker

Omaha Hi Low is played in exactly the same way as Omaha Poker, however the pot is split between the player or players who at the end of the game have a high hand and a low hand.

The table stakes are varied and players can choose games that range from $0.02/$0.05 to $200/$400 blinds, in Fixed, Pot, and No Limit formats.

The game can be played on a one on one basis or you can play with a maximum of ten players.

Omaha Poker How To Play

In Omaha Poker, the pocket cards will only be dealt once the big and small bets have been placed.

The player to the left of the Big Blind bet player starts the wagering and they can either fold, call or raise, everyone then takes it in turn to do this.

Next is the 2nd round and three cards will be dealt face up on the table, all players can share these cards and the first player still in the game to the left of the dealer may either check or bet, again all players still in the game take it in turns to do this.

The third round entails and a fourth communal card is dealt, and another round of betting ensues, this will then be followed by the fourth round in which a final communal card is dealt along with another round of betting.

Players have to then use any two of their four pocket cards and three of the five communal cards to make the best five card low or high hand possible, and whoever has the highest and lowest hand wins a 50% share of the pot, if one player has both then he or she picks up the entire pot.
