The object of the game is similar to Omaha High, except the Player having the best "eight or better" low hand will split the pot with the high hand. A low hand will only qualify if it can be made by having five unpaired cards, with no card higher than an eight.
If there is no qualifying low
hand, the highest five card hand will win the whole pot. A Player may
form two different hands of five cards each, enabling that Player to
contend for both the high hand and the low hand. Two hole cards must be
used for each hand.
The choices of these hole cards may overlap.
Rotating clockwise a designated Dealer's button is used to determine betting position, the order of dealing the cards and the order of the blinds.
The button position is always the last to act.
Betting rounds and the procedures for dealing the "community board cards" are the same as in Texas Hold 'Em and Omaha High described above.
