Omaha High-Low Set-Up and Play

For those of you have that played poker in the past but really have no idea how to play Limit Texas Hold ‘Em or Omaha, you are absolutely in luck!  For that is exactly what we are going to discuss below so that way you know exactly what you might be getting yourself into whenever you start playing either of these games.  What you might not know about these two games is that they are pretty much exactly the same terms of playing.

Omaha high-low is a split-pot game.  What that means is that it is possible to make both the best high and low poker hand.  Half of the pot would then be awarded to the best high hand and half of the pot would be given to the best low hand.  However, if no one has the best low hand, the entire pot will go to the high hand, so make sure that you keep that in mind.  The idea of the whole game is to entire that you have the best of both worlds so you can scoop the pot (meaning, taking the whole pot).

That’s all for now!  We will talk more about Omaha and Limit Texas Hold ‘em in the next blog!
