Omaha High Low Poker

Sit Down

A maximum of ten players can be seated at a Omaha Hi/Lo game.

The Buy-In

In all Pot Limit games with limits of 0.25/0.50 or less, the minimum buy-in must be equal to the sum of 20 times the lower limit. For example, on a table limited at 0.25/0.50, the minimum buy-in will be 10.

In all other games, the minimum buy-in will be ten times the lower betting limit. For example, on a table limited at 3/6, the minimum buy-in will be 30.

The Game

The Blinds: the small blind, half the minimum betting limit in the game, and big blind, the entire minimum betting limit, are made by the two players sitting to the immediate left of the dealer.

The Pre-flop: four pocket-cards are dealt face down.

The Flop: three board-cards are dealt face up for all the players to use. A round of betting then takes place in a clockwise position beginning with the player to the left of the big blind.

The Turn: one more board-card is dealt face up for all the players to use followed by another round of betting.

The River: a final board card is dealt face up, after which there is a last round of betting.

The Showdown: all remaining players must reveal their hands. The hands must be comprised of two of the player’s pocket-cards and three of the board-cards. The winning hands are the hands with the highest ranking combination according to standard hand rankings, and the hand with the lowest ranking combination, which qualifies by having only cards that are lower than eight. The Hi and Lo hand are each awarded 50% of the pot. If there is a tie, the pot is split and any remaining amount is awarded to the player left of the dealer.

Betting

The bet amounts of the game are limited, predetermined by the table stakes:

  • The first two betting rounds are limited to the lower betting limit.
  • The last two betting rounds are limited to the higher limit. 
  • Only one bet and three raises are allowed per round of betting so that the limits cannot be surpassed.
