Object of the game: similar to Omaha High, except the Player
having the best "eight or better" low hand will split
the pot with the high hand. A low hand will only qualify if
it can be made by having five unpaired cards, with no card higher
than an eight.
If there is no qualifying low hand, the highest five card
hand will win the whole pot. A Player may form two different
hands of five cards each, enabling that Player to contend
for both the high hand and the low hand. Two hole cards must
be used for each hand.
The choices of these hole cards may overlap.
Rotating clockwise a designated Dealer's button is used to
determine betting position, the order of dealing the cards
and the order of the blinds.
The button position is always the last to act.
Betting rounds and the procedures for dealing the "community
board cards" are the same as in Texas Hold 'Em and Omaha
High described above.
