Poker Rules:Omaha Hi/Lo 8 or Better

Much like 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo 8 or Better, in this version of Omaha, the high hand and the qualifying low hand split the pot. A low hand must be five unpaired cards (with the highest card no greater than an 8).

A, 2, 3, 4, 5 is the best low hand (as straights and flushes do not apply to low hands).

In order to win the low hand, players must have 5 un-paired cards with the highest card of eight or below, otherwise the poker hand does not qualify for the low hand, and the high hand wins the entire pot. And, it's possible to win both the high hand and low hand, winning the entire pot.

That completes the rules of the standard online poker games offered by most or all of the online poker rooms.
