When once all the betting is completed, the best five-card high or low hand is determined by the players so that they can make combination from two of their four pocket cards with three of the five community cards. The pot is split 50-50 in Omaha High/Low, between the best high hand and the low hand qualifying best, with rank of 8 or lower, from 5 cards of different values.
While evaluating a low hand, straights and flushes are not counted against the player. They may still apply for high hand evaluation. The Aces can qualify for both high and low hands.
Hence, the best possible low hand that is also a straight for the high hand is A, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The player with both the highest and lowest hands can scoop the entire pot. They will have four of these cards in their own possession to deal as down cards, and five face up cards as community cards for sharing between all the players.
In the process, if four kings down are dealt by a player, two kings only will count towards the final hand. The community cards have to contribute three remaining cards. The player with the best five-card hand will share the pot equally with the player with the qualifying best low hand. If there is tie resulting from multiple hands, the pot will be split and the player immediately to the left of the dealer may get any odd amount.
In order to give the player an advantage of being last to act once per round, the ‘button’ is moved around the table, clockwise. Hold ‘Em position is an example for an important advantage for the player with the button being possibly in the best position.
