in Omaha high low all of the players are dealt five cards.  Then there are another five cards put on the table.  The goal of a low hand is to have the lowest cards possible from 8 and down.  The hand is calculated by two cards in your hand and three cards from the table.

Duplicate cards on the table and in your hand count as the same card.  For example, if you have a 7 in your hand and 7 is on the table then only 1 of 7 will count.  If your low card is only 7 it is not good to bet low.

Always have two low cards in your hand.  Remember that the lowest of the low cards will win the low hand.  Having an A 2 in your dealt hand is the very best combination to bet on a low hand.  If there is no low card on the flop, it is time to pack it up and fold or only accept a low bet.  You will have to draw 3 low cards to win the low hand.  If on the other hand the flop has one or two low cards that are different from yours and you have an A in your hand, you can bet high on the low hand.

These are some tips to improve your chances at the low hand winning in Omaha high low poker.
