Community Card Game · Split Pot · No Low Qualifier · Blinds
Overview
Omaha Hi/Lo Regular plays like standard Omaha Hi/Lo except there is no 8-or-better qualifier for the low hand. The pot always splits — every hand produces both a high winner and a low winner. The low hand is simply the player whose Omaha hand (exactly 2 hole + 3 community) uses the 5 lowest unique ranks, with aces counting low.

How It Works
Standard Omaha rules apply: exactly 2 hole cards + 3 community cards for each half.
High: Best 5-card poker hand wins the high half.
Low: The player whose Omaha hand uses the 5 lowest unique ranks (aces count low) wins the low half. The pot always splits — there is no qualifier. Even with a board of K-Q-J-10-9, someone will win the "low" half with the best available low combination.
You may use a different combination of 2 hole + 3 community for your high and low hands.
Low Hand Ranking
Low hands are ranked from the highest card down — the hand with the lowest top card wins. For ties at the top, compare the next card, and so on:
A-2-3-4-5 (wheel) is the best possible low
A-2-3-4-9 beats A-2-5-6-9 (the 4 beats the 5 at position 4 from the top)
Pairs and straights/flushes do not matter for low evaluation — only the 5 lowest unique ranks count
Strategy Notes
Unlike 8-or-better, you must always plan your low hand — there is no folding the low half
Hands with A-2-3 are premium: they dominate the low half in most scenarios
High-only hands (K-K-Q-Q type) will lose the low half unless paired with a strong low in your other 2 cards
