    Default Hi/Lo Confusion

    Messing around in an Omaha Hi/Lo freeroll and was a bit confused as to the winner of a hand. For the low side of the pot, which hand wins and why?

    8,6,3,2,A

    or

    6,5,4,2,A

    Many thanks.

    Ok, haven't played any hi/lo in a really long time so I just wanted some confirmation on the way the hand played out.

    6 is lower than 8 therefore it is the winner.

    what courtie said

    As Omaha H/L is my favorite game i'll elaborate a little more:

    If the board is: 3 6 7 K rainbow

    The missing low cards are A, 2, 4, 5, 8

    The two lowest cards is the best possible hand (A2)

    Then take the 3rd lowest card and count from the top of the chain (A4, 24)

    And the 4th lowest card (A5, 25, 45) and so on

    So the order is (A2, A4, 24, A5, 25, 45)

    If the river is an A

    The missing cards are 2, 4, 5, 8

    Using the same method: (24, 25, 45, 28, 48, 58)

    The best possible hand is 245x
