This game is played the same as Omaha, except the pot is split between the player with the highest hand and the player with the lowest hand (unless one player 'Scoops' both hands).

1. The 2 players left of the dealer place a 'Small Blind' and 'Big Blind' (blind, as in betting before seeing the hand) bet, which for a $.50/$1.00 game is $.25 and $.50 respectively.

2. Once the Blind bets are made each player is dealt 4 cards face down.

3. Betting begins with the player to the left of the bettor who placed the "Big Blind" bet.

4. 3 cards are dealt face up, in the middle of the table, in what is called "The Flop".

5. There is another round of betting,

6. A 4th card is placed face up in the middle of the table.

7. There is another round of betting,

8. The last card, or "The River" card is placed face up in the middle.

9. There is the final round of betting.

The rules for forming a hand are the same as Omaha, 2 of the 4 down cards and 3 of the 5 up cards must be used for each hand. However, as you get to create a separate Hi and Lo hand your two hands may use different cards from both the Flop and your down cards.
