Poker Games OfferedOmaha High-Low
While the “Texas” version is by far the most popular form of Holdem these days, Omaha Holdem continues to be popular at both the higher and lower limits.
There are two versions of Omaha. Omaha High only and Omaha High-Low Eight or Better which is a game where the high hand and low hand splits the pot. Each version can be played with any betting structure: Limit, Pot Limit or No Limit.
You may hear the split game called Hi-Lo, Omaha 8, or simply Eight or Better. It is all the same game. Hi-Lo seems to be the most popular with the players an you will find more of these games than you will Omaha high only in the card rooms. Low Limit Hi-Lo is gaining in popularity as the players like the chance of having a split pot. Because the high and low are splitting the pot there are more players staying in for the River card making many of the pots very large.
Players are dealt four down cards before the first round of betting. The player may use any combination of exactly two hole cards and three board cards for the high hand and another (or the same) combination of two hole cards and three board cards for the low hand. A Player may use the same card twice with one other card to make a high hand and another to make a low hand (ie. An Ace might play high with a 10-J-Q or K to make an Ace-high straight and then be used with a 2 thru 8 to make a low hand).
