OMAHA

Omaha is similar to Hold’em, except each player is dealt four downcards instead of two. In order to make a hand, a player must use precisely two hole cards with any combination of exactly three boardcards. The betting is the same as in Hold’em.

Omaha is often played high-low split, 8-or-better. You may use any combination of two hole cards and three boardcards for your high hand and another (or the same) combination of two hole cards and three boardcards for your low hand.

Rules for Omaha High-Low Split (8-or-Better)

• 1. All the rules of Omaha apply to Omaha high-low split (8-or-better).
• 2. A qualifier of 8-or-better for low is required for all high-low-split games, unless a specific posting to the contrary is displayed.
• 3. If there is no low hand, the high hand wins the entire pot.
• 4. You can use one combination of cards to make a high hand and the same or any other combination to make a low hand, as long as each hand uses exactly two hole cards with three boardcards.
• 5. All other Hold’em rules apply.
