Randall 0 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 There is a helpful beginner's Omaha hi/lo article in the omaha section. http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...opic.php?t=3312In that post, he discusses how to read low hands by reading the cards as a five digit number that starts with the highest card So, given your example, 2,3,4,5,6 and a,3,4,6,7, you'd start with the high cards and see that 65432 is a lower five digit number than 7654a and thus is the winning low. As the previous poster said, you don't need to worry about all of the low cards if the highest card in one qualifying low hand is less than the higest card in the second qualifying low hand (as is the case in your example). It's easy to see that a five digit number starting with 6 is less than a five digit number starting with 7. Link to post Share on other sites
rkkkkjj 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 the best low is the wheel, A2345, and for example A2347 will always lose to A2346, a 7 low to a 6 low, also A2378 will also lose to A2368, remember 5 individual cards at 8 or lower, 23467 beats 24567, good luck Link to post Share on other sites
PestoSauce 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Is this slight interest how Low hands are as in Omaha 8 or better the beginning of the demise of hold em? Geez I hope not. Link to post Share on other sites
Pupsta 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Is this slight interest how Low hands are as in Omaha 8 or better the beginning of the demise of hold em? Geez I hope not.have you seen the fish in the o8 games? it's absurd! people drawing 2 to their 78 thinking it'll be a good low, busting, rebuying, busting, rebuying, lather rinse repeat if you thought there were fish in holdem, try o8, you'll find nemo in no time.

Emptyeye 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 For the matter, regular Pot Limit Omaha Hi seems to be filled with people who don't understand that you can't play it the same way as you play Hold 'Em. "Uh oh, you're all in and that diamond hit the river...what? My top set is still good? Hey, thanks for CALLING me with second set and no real redraw! Woo!" Link to post Share on other sites
