Title: quick omaha hi lo explanation needed
Post by: BigTomatoes on July 27, 2007, 12:53:22 AM
 
 to win half the pot does A 3 5 6 7 beat 2 3 4 6 7 ? ? ? ?

 OR is it only A 2 3 4 5 that beats 2 3 4 6 7 ?? or 2 3 4 5 6 ??

 this is important coz im playing a tourney right now and this has baffled me.

 cheers

easy way to work it out is reverse the lo and then the lowest five figure number wins


so A3457 would be 75431 and would beat  A2348  which is 84321 but would be beaten by A2457 which is 75421

 so A 3 5 6 7 is 76531 and 2 3 4 6 7 is 76432

 so the lo is worked out from 8 downwards and not Ace upwards , this is what confused me because the A2345 is the nut low i figured if i had an Ace in m low hand then it would be better than a 7 lo with no Ace.

 couldnt figure it out , and won this tourney before omg.

 ah well , i lost that hand , i lost a pot when we went all in with the same hand ( 2 pair he hit a straight )

 not my night i guess.

 thanks for the explanation iron.
