No Limit Omaha 8 b Poker - How To Play Omaha 8/b (Omaha Hi-Lo)

Omaha hold 'em (or Omaha 8b holdem, Omaha 8, OH8, NLO8, O8b or Omaha Hi Low) is a community card poker game (often referred to as a "flop game") similar to Texas Hold'em, where each player is dealt four cards and must make his best hand using exactly two of them, plus exactly three of the five community cards.

NL PL Limit Omaha Poker

In North American casinos, the term "Omaha" can refer to several poker games. The original game is also commonly known as "Omaha High". A high-low split version called "Omaha Hi-Lo", or sometimes "Omaha eight-or-better" or "Omaha/8" or "OH8", "OH8b", "NLO8", "Omaha 8" and so on, is also played.

In Europe, "Omaha" still typically refers to the high version of the game, usually played pot-limit. Pot limit Omaha is often abbreviated as "PLO." Pot-limit and no-limit Omaha eight-or-better can be found in some casinos and online, though No-Limit is rare, it can be found at both PokerStars and FullTilt. Both allow USA poker players from all 50 states.

It is often said that Omaha is a game of "the nuts", i.e. the best possible high or low hand, because it frequently takes "the nuts" to win a showdown. It is also a game where between the cards in his hand and the community cards a player may have drawing possibilities to multiple different types of holdings. For example, a player may have both a draw to a flush and a full house using different combinations of cards. At times, even seasoned players may need additional time to figure what draws are possible for their hand.

The basic differences between Omaha and Texas hold 'em are these: first, each player is dealt four cards to his private hand instead of two. The betting rounds and layout of community cards are identical. At showdown, each player's hand is the best five-card hand he can make from exactly three of the five cards on the board, plus exactly two of his own cards. Unlike Texas holdem, a player cannot play four or five of the cards on the board with fewer than two of his own.

Omaha Hi-Lo

In high low split, each player makes a separate five-card high hand and five-card ace-to-five low hand (eight-high or lower to qualify), and the pot is split between the high and low (which may be the same player). To qualify for low, a player must be able to play an 8-7-6-5-4 or lower (this is why it is called "eight-or-better", or simply "Omaha/8"). A few casinos play with a 9-low qualifier instead, but this is rare. Each player can play any two of his four hole cards to make his high hand, and any two of his four hole cards to make his low hand. If there is no qualifying low hand, the high hand wins (scoops) the whole pot. A 'scoop' can also take high hand and low hand.
