Get Started playing Omaha Hi Lo

 

As with all Poker games, if you are a beginner to Omaha Hi Lo we recommended playing Fixed Limit Hold ‘Em at whatever limit you can afford. In most online Poker Rooms, you can find these types of tables by looking for the game type. You can find out more about the different types of limits, and Poker limit variations here.

Once you have selected a suitable stake we would recommend that you take some time to watch the betting on the table. This will give you an understanding of the high and low hand rankings, the typical betting practices and maybe also identify who bets a lot and who does not. This knowledge may help you later as if some players do not seem to play many hands then they are probably a very tight player.

Omaha Hi Lo is very similar to Omaha with one very distinct and important difference. When the pot is divided up at the end, it is split. The person with the highest hand wins half the pot and the person with the lowest hand wins the other half!

So the first thing you notice when you join a table is that everyone is dealt four cards. Next you will notice a small button with the letter D on it...

Next, posting, the blinds and the dealer button...
