Omaha Hi-Lo Rules

	In Omaha Hi/Lo poker, the pot is shared between the best five-card poker hand and the worst five-card poker hand.

	Players can only use two of their four hole cards and three of their five community cards to make a five-card poker hand.

	To qualify for the lower portion of the pot, your five-card hand must be at worst an “8” or below.

	If there is no qualifying hand for the worst hand, the whole pot will be awarded to the best five-card poker hand.

	If a player can “scoop” (win the whole pot), if he shows both the best and worst five-card poker hands.

	You don’t need to declare what half of the pot you are playing for at the beginning of the hand. This is only compulsory in other variations of poker that are called “declare” games.

	In Omaha Hi/Lo poker, the straights and flushes are ignored for the low hand. Meaning that the best possible low hand is A-2-3-4-5, no matter what the suits are.

	Aces are very important in Omaha Hi/Lo poker. As they are the highest card for the High hand and lowest card for the low hand.

	Suits are ignored for the low hand. If any players sharing the exact same low, the low half of the pot will be equally shared between them.

	If there is an additional odd chip, that can’t be split in half, this chip is always added to the pot awarded to the best five-card poker hand.
