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