Omaha High/Low Rules
Omaha High/Low rules are identical to Texas Hold'em rules apart from the following changes.
Deal
Each player is dealt four down cards.
Showdown
Players who remain in the hand after all betting rounds are completed construct their best five card high poker hand using the standard hand rankings and their best five card low poker hand using the low hand rankings with an "8 or better" qualifier. Players must use precisely two cards from their own hand and precisely three cards from the board and may use different cards for low and high hand ranking purposes. This makes it possible for one player to win both the low and high portions of the pot.
If one or more players have a qualifing low hand the pot is split 50%/50% between the best high hands and the best low hands. If no player has a qualifying low hand the whole pot is awarded to players with the best high hand.
