What is Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Poker? If you know how to play pot-limit Omaha (or "Omaha high"), you are 🎅 well on your way to learning how to play Omaha hi-lo. As the name suggests, Omaha hi-lo is a "split-pot" version 🎅 of Omaha poker in which players compete for both the "high" and "low" halves of the pot. Omaha hi-lo is 🎅 usually played with fixed-limit betting and often turns up in "mixed game" formats like H.O.R.S.E. (in which Omaha hi-lo is 🎅 the "O") or the popular 8-game mix. You will sometimes see the game referred to simply as "Omaha 8" or even 🎅 "O/8" or more elaborately as "Omaha hi-lo 8 or better." The name gets styled differently, too, as "Omaha High-Low," "Omaha 🎅 poker high-low" and so on. Pot-limit and no-limit versions of Omaha hi-lo are also popular, especially online either as cash games 🎅 or tournaments. |
