Among so many poker games, Omaha Hi Lo has quickly become a very popular game due to its frequently large pots. The game is also called "Omaha High Low" or "Omaha 8 or Better". In this game, each player is dealt four cards that belong only to that player. These cards are also known as "hole cards". Then five community cards are dealt face-up on the board. The players have to use their two hole cards in combination with three cards from the board to make the best five-card poker hand possible. In this game, the pot is divided between the best hand for high and the best hand for low. This is the reason why it is called Omaha Hi Lo. This game is played with an "8 or better" qualifier. It means that a hand should be at worst an 8 for low to be eligible to win the low portion of the pot. There are three variations of Omaha Hi Lo. These are Limit Omaha Hi Lo, Pot Limit Omaha Hi Lo and No Limit Omaha Hi Lo.
