If you know how to play pot-limit Omaha (or "Omaha high"), you are 👏 well on your way to learning how to play Omaha hi-lo.

As the name suggests, Omaha hi-lo is a "split-pot" version 👏 of Omaha poker in which players compete for both the "high" and "low" halves of the pot. Omaha hi-lo is 👏 usually played with fixed-limit betting and often turns up in "mixed game" formats like H.O.R.S.E. (in which Omaha hi-lo is 👏 the "O") or the popular 8-game mix.

You will sometimes see the game referred to simply as "Omaha 8" or even 👏 "O/8" or more elaborately as "Omaha hi-lo 8 or better." The name gets styled differently, too, as "Omaha High-Low," "Omaha 👏 poker high-low" and so on.

Pot-limit and no-limit versions of Omaha hi-lo are also popular, especially online either as cash games 👏 or tournaments.
