Gotta let it go.

You have no low draw so, if a low card arrives, the most you can win is half the pot.

You have a spade draw, but, too often in omaha, you'll be beaten by a the nut flush if it arrives. Plus, you can still be outdrawn by a full house draw even if you are ahead.

Your queens won't be ahead for the high. Someone will probably be playing at least an ace.

Your straight draws are there, but are still vulnerable if you are fortunate enough to hit. Plus, you might even split the high if the straight arrives.

Have to throw it IMO. Very playable in omaha to try and hit a set, but not a great hi-lo hand.

If the 8s was the 9s, then the hand would be playable.


Not sure I would have raised preflop with this hand.

I agree with snoopy , hands like that are great for omaha hi, but for hi/lo u need a bit of both and u had no low draw possible just flushing, gutshotting and underpair to board

also not nut flushing either  .  Omaha hi/lo is my fav game too ;)  ask jen ;)

all makes sense.

I was only raising pre flop and drawing at what I was because the players were SO BAD

If they're bad, it's probably best to see cheap multiway pots and wait for the nuts. You'll get paid off by someone.

Nail, head, collision.
