Overview
Omaha high-low split is a variant of Texas hold’em. It is a poker game generally played among two to nine players, with pots split between the holder of the highest hand and the lowest hand. Players are dealt four downcards (hole cards) and must use two of their four hole cards along with three of five community cards (board cards) to make their best five-card hands.
Note: Any two hole cards along with any three board cards can be used to make a hand.
To begin each hand, one or more players post blinds, after which the house dealer deals four hole cards to each player. The betting starts with the first player to the left of the big blind and continues clockwise. When all action is complete, the house dealer deals three cards face up to the center of the table. These three board cards are called the flop. Betting starts with the first active player to the left of the button. After all action is complete the house dealer deals one card face up to the board; this is called the turn. After all action is complete, the house dealer deals the final card face up to the board; this is called the river. After all action is complete, contesting players show down their hands to determine the winner or winners. The pot is split between the highest and the lowest of those hands. It is possible for the same player to win both the high and low. If all players but one have folded, the remaining player wins the pot. The house dealer moves the dealer button one position clockwise and the next deal begins.
