One of the variations of Omaha is Omaha Hi/Lo (known also as Omaha eight or better) where the pot is split between the highest and the lowest combination of cards. The game is played also with 52 cards. The Ace can be used as a highest and as a lowest card as well. One of the rules in the game is that low hands cannot have a card higher than 8. Another important thing to know is that straights and flushes do not disqualify low hands. In the beginning, before the cards are dealt, in the pot are placed by all players blind bets called ante – minimum bets. Then the player left to the dealer places a bet equal to half of the ante. The next player bets ante. Then all players get four pocket cards face down. The cards are dealt clockwise starting from the player to the left of the dealer. Normally, Omaha Hi/Lo is played as a pot limit game. Don’t forget that you always have to use three cards from the board and two from the hand.
