I want to cover some under-appreciated topics in this quiz. We’ll start out with Omaha eight-or-better, aka Omaha hi /lo or simply Omaha 8. It’s dealt in the same way as Omaha, the difference being that at a showdown the pot is split between the best traditional poker hand and the best Ace-to-five lowbal l hand. Low hands are ranked by their highest card and straights and flushes don’t count, so 6-5-4-3-2 beats 7-4-3-2-A, and both hands lose to 5-4-3-2-A (‘the wheel ’). For a low hand to qual if y it must consist of five cards ranked 8 or lower, with no pairs (hence the name ‘eight-or-better’).
