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...
