OMAHA – HIGH/LOW<br />
1. Each player is dealt four cards, one at a time, all face down.<br />
2. A bet follows. The player to the left of the dealer has the first<br />
option. That player can either check or bet.<br />
3. When the betting is complete, the dealer burns the top card in<br />
the deck (places it unseen under the chips or coins on the table)<br />
then “flops” three cards (exposes three cards all at once).<br />
4. A round of betting follows the flop. The second player starts the<br />
betting. The player can either bet or check. When the betting is<br />
over, the dealer burns another card and then turns up the<br />
“Turn” card (fourth up card).<br />
5. Another round of bets follows the turn card. The third player to<br />
the left of the dealer starts the betting with the option of<br />
checking or betting. When the betting is over, the dealer burns<br />
another card then turns up the “River” card (the fifth up card).<br />
6. Another round of betting follows the river card. The fourth<br />
player starts the betting with the option of betting or checking.<br />
7. In this game, the players may only use two of their held four<br />
cards and three of the cards from board. They may use one<br />
combination of five for High and another combination of five for<br />
Low.<br />
8. In order to qualify for a low hand, the hand cannot have a card<br />
higher than an eight. The five cards may be in numerical<br />
sequence (straight) or may all be of the same suit (flush) as long<br />
as none of the five is higher than eight.<br />
9. A player can win both the high and the low with different<br />
combinations of five cards, two from his/her hand and three<br />
from the community cards.<br />
10. After all the betting is complete, players show their cards and<br />
the winners are determined. Players do not have to declare high<br />
or low, cards tell.<br />
NOTE: Quite often in this game, there is no low hand possible. In that<br />
situation, the entire pot goes to the player with the highest hand.<br />
