General Strategy of Omaha Hi Lo, the high hand winner must split the pot with the player with the best qualifying low hand.

There is always a high hand winner but not always a low. For your hand to qualify for low, it must have five denominations no higher than an eight.Any two of your your four down cards are played for high and any two are played for low.

Players must play exactly two out of their hands for each direction. Aces are either high or low.

The most important thing to keep in mind in split pot games is the big profit difference between winning half the pot and "scooping" it all.

You've got that right pokergirl40. Most of the time it is a split pot betwen the high and low hands in Omaha Hi/Lo.

Another thing to watch out for before you begin to play Omaha Hi/Lo is the type of wagering.

Most Omaha hi lo games are pot limit, but some also have no limit and those can be a little tricky unless you do know you have the nuts high hand to go all in with.

I've also played in tournaments where there was both a pot limit and no limit that would switch every 15 minutes.
