Omaha Hi/Lo Basic Game Rules
Gamblers who like the game of Omaha normally find they are pulled to the largely well-loved game of Omaha hi lo. For individuals who are knowledgeable with hi-low poker variations, Omaha Hi-Lo will prove to be a snap to understand. The general regulations of the style follow the game of Omaha and if you’re comfortable with 7 Card Stud hi/lo, the hi-low variety of Omaha is very similar to the Stud game style.
Just like Omaha and hold’em, Omaha hi lo is a community card game which refers to the fact that there are five community cards used to help players make the best possible poker hand. The game starts with the laying of both the large and tiny blinds. The croupier then deals every player 4 "hole" cards with the faces hidden. Betting round number 1 starts clockwise from the big blind. Following the first round of betting happens, the dealer deals out 3 cards on the flop to the community. These cards are given out face up in the middle of the poker table.
After the flop, another round of wagering takes place and the turn card is then given out to the community (face up) followed by an additional round of betting, raising, calling, checking and dropping out. The last card handed to the community is called the river card (dealt face up too) and a last round of wagering follows with a showdown to determine who the winner(s) of the pot is/are.
Determining a winner in any hi lo game is somewhat different than in most poker games. Every pot has two winners. fifty% of the pot will go to the gambler with the best low hand and fiftypercent of the pot will be given to the player with the best high hand. If the pot does not have a successful low hand due to qualification, then the high hand takes the entire pot.
In Omaha hi/lo, the low hand must qualify for a low hand with an 8 or less. If hands don’t qualify, then the high hand wins the money and in the case of a tie, the pot is then split based on the high hand win.
Omaha hi lo has a number of variations just like pot limit and NL variations. In the set limit games of Omaha, the most noticeable rule is the cap on the amount of raises permitted in the hand ranging from 3 to 5 raises dependent on the number of individuals remaining in the game. One apparent exception in the game is the fact there are generally 2 successful players. Gamblers accustomed to the hi/lo games find Omaha hi/low simple to play and individuals are conscious of the regulations quickly once the first round is played.
