Omaha high-low game with a split pot (split pot). This means that there is the possibility not only the best highest (high hand) and the lowest best poker hand (low hand) to reach. Half of the plot gives the player with the best high hand (the highest-leaf) and the other half gets the player with the best low hand (the lowest leaf). If no low hand can be reached then the whole pot to the player with the high hand. The goal is both to achieve both the best hig hand as well as the best low hand. (scoopinp the pot)

The High Hand
The high hand is in regular Omaha, the highest leaf, starting from a royal flush than the highest leaf and then continue down. Just as we must, as in normal Omaha, two (exactly two) of hole cards and three (exactly three) of the community cards to use his hand together.

The Low Hand
The low hand is slightly more complicated to determine. One must also two hole cards and three community cards to use. However, all low hands must be an eight or lower (the lower the better). An Eight is a low Eight and four lower cards, a Seven low contains a Seven and four lower cards, etc. The best possible low is called Wheel and is 5-4-3-2-A (five-high straight). The worst possible low is 8-7-6-5-4 (eight-high straight). Similarly, at least three of the community cards eight or lower, so that a low is possible.

Examples
8-4-3-2-A low is worse than 7-6-5-4-3 low.
7 a.m. to 4 p.m.-3-2-A low is worse than 6-5-4-3-2 low.
8-7-3-2-A low is worse than 8-6-5-4-3 low.
7-6-3-2-A low is worse than 7-5-4-3-2 low.
8-6-5-4-3 low is worse than 8-6-5-4-2 low, which is worse than 8-6-5-4-A is low.



Be quartered
In Omaha high-low, it is possible one quarter of the pot to win. This can happen if 2 players have the same high or low hand, but one of the best players, the best high or low hand.

Example 1
Player A has the best high hand and low hand, the same as player B. Player B receives one quarter of the pot and player A gets three quarters.

Example 2
Player A has the best high hand but not the best low hand. Player B and C have the same low hand. A player receives half the pot and player B and C share the remaining half. Player B and C will receive one quarter, they are quartered.
