Hi Lo Omaha Poker RulesOmaha Hi-Lo is one of the most popular games among poker purists. In some circles this game is also called Omaha Eights. This game features a split pot, which means the player with the highest hand splits the pot with the player with the lowest hand.

Omaha Hi-Lo begins after players receive four cards face down. After the initial round of betting, the dealer places three cards face up on the table. These cards are collectively called "the flop." During the next few rounds of betting the dealer places two more cards, the turn and the river, on the table. The VIPpoker.com software was designed to determine the final outcome and award the pot to the players with the highest and lowest hands. If no one qualifies for the low hand, the high hand takes the entire pot.
When you sit down at an Omaha Hi-Lo table, the betting limits are clearly displayed on the screen. If you want to enter a game that is already in progress, you need to either pay a new player post or enter the game in the big blind position. The waiting list feature allows you to wait until the blind reaches you before you enter any VIPpoker.com game.
