Hi/Lo Poker

Omaha Hi/Lo Poker and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo is very similar to their normal counterparts, but the pot is split between a high hand (the same as in ordinary poker games) and a low hand (which is based on five cards, which start at eight or below).

The Showdown

If there is more than one player left in the game, there is a showdown. At this point, the players reveal their cards and the highest hand wins half the pot and the lowest low hand wins the other half. The same player can have both the best high and low hands. However, if none of the players has a low hand, then the highest hand wins the entire pot. (see Rank of Hands).
