The most popular form of poker, known as the “Cadillac of Poker”.
All players are dealt two cards face down (hole cards). There is an initial betting round, which is followed by "The Flop" - three community cards dealt face up in the middle of the table for all players to make use of.
A second round of better is then followed by a fourth community card - "The Turn" - being added to the board.
A third round of betting takes place, followed by the final community card - "The River".
One final betting round takes place, and then the players go to showdown. All remaining players now have seven cards (their two unique hole cards plus the five community cards) to make the best five-card hand with.
Pot Limit Omaha plays exactly as per Texas Hold'em, but players are dealt four hole cards instead of two. While Hold'em allows you to use one - or even none - of your hole cards in your final five-card hand, PLO requires that you use exactly two of your hole cards in conjunction with three of the community cards at showdown. For example, holding the ace of clubs in your hand when there are four clubs on the board would give you a flush in Hold'em, but in PLO you would need two clubs in your hand in order to have a flush in this scenario.
Hi/Lo is variant of Omaha where you qualify for half of the pot a 'low' hand and half of the pot with a 'high' hand. The mechanics are the same as in Pot Limit Omaha.
What exactly counts as a low hand?
A player must have five unique cards ranked eight and under to qualify for a low hand. If you have the best low hand you are entitled to half of the pot at showdown. If there is no low hand possible (ie the community cards do not allow it), then the hand can only be contested by high hands. If you have both a good low and a good high hand you can win the entire pot (a 'scoop' - the Omaha8 players' dream!). If you share an identical low with another player, you both have to split the low half of the pot, a practice commonly referred to as 'quartering' (because you only win a quarter of the pot if you have no high).
The deck is stripped in 6 Plus as the name suggests, all 2s – 5s are removed making it a 36 card game. This is the only variant where the hand ranking differ slightly.
Note that Aces are still low, A6789 the lowest possible straight
