Omaha Hi-Lo is the same game as Omaha, except there are two ways to win. It is possible to win the 'hi' and/or the 'lo'. A low consists of 5 cards of different rank, 8 and lower. Again, exactly two cards must be used to make your hand. The same two cards don't have to be used for both the high and the low. For example, if you're four cards were A289, and the flop came down 5,6,7 you would have the nut low, with A2567, and high straight, with 56789.
Omaha Hi-Lo
1. Blinds are posted.
2. Four cards are dealt to each player, followed by a round of betting.
3. Three cards(the flop) are placed face up in the middle of the table. These are community cards shared
by all the players at the table to make their best five card hand. A round of betting follows.
4. One community card(the turn) is placed in the middle, followed by a round of betting.
5. The final community card(the river) is placed, followed by the final round of betting.
