omaha hi low

[esmordan]

I know not many ppl on this site but sinc its one of my fav games and i know a few of u might answer so here it goes


2s4s5h6d
vs
AhAd 7h8s

1st of all i would like to ask what had you would rather have preflop????

next the flop comes

5h 6s 8d

so now both hands have a straight draw
the 2s4s5h6d has 2 pair and is ahead on high and has the better low at the time

what had would u rather have now??

if a 2 or 4 hits the AA has a better low and also has a stright draw and backdoor boat draw

im no expert on Omaha h/l but id prob say the 2456, because it has better scoop potential in my opinion...even if the ace hits, you still get half the pot...for the 6524a low...PLUS, one of the outs to the high straight is gone with the 4 in the hand...

mike you do know you can only use 2 cards from yer hand right haha so 2 other low cards gotta hit with the a2456 haha i think you knew that but u made it sound like u didn't haha well gl at the tables

i would also take the 2456 because you have the better low already.

Also i would want 2456 because say the turn hits a ACE now you are 100% for the low and freerolling for the high which is where you want to be in hi/lo.


potentially scoop!!!!!!!!

yea u said the flop was 568, so you have a good low to start with already with 2456, and 2 pair...not that strong of a hand in PLO h/l but it works heads up, and if the ace hits, you still have half the pot....

yea after that flop you have the locked low no matter what comes out.....but its only for heads up obliviously...........so your have half the pot. and freerolling for a high.
