5. Odds in Omaha Hi-Lo<br />

The idea in Hi-Lo is to scoop both sides of the pot and<br />

NEVER to chase with marginal hands in either direction. To<br />

demonstrate the power of the scoop, assume that you are in<br />

a 3-handed pot and each player has $400 invested (for a total<br />

pot of $1,200). If you hold the nut Low and you are not<br />

quartered, you win $600 and make a $200 profit. If you<br />

scoop, you win $1,200 with an $800 profit. While your win<br />

is doubled, your profit is quadrupled. That is the power of<br />

the scoop.<br />
