Is this Omaha info correct?

[Buck Pete]

I have cut and pasted this text i read on a website. Im sure its wrong.

Sorry if this should have gone in the beginners section.

Take the following example: you have Ac-2h-Kh-Qd and the flop is 3c-5d-6d. At this point you have the nut low hand: Ac-2h-3c-5d-6d (as well an unlikely gutshot straight draw).

But what if the two of spades falls on the turn? Remember you have to use exactly two of your hole cards to make a qualifying low. Try as you might, you will no longer be able to make a qualifying low hand from the four cards on the table and the four in your hand.


Surely, even if a deuce fell on the turn you would still have an A-2-3-5-6 low?

Please clarify?

Yeah you just don't have the nut low anymore - that would be A4.

[Buck Pete]

Thanks

Thought so.

The text implies you have no longer have any qualifying low hand.

If the flop were 2-3-5 and neither the turn nor river was 8 or less you'd have your low counterfeited.

[/ QUOTE ]Buck Pete - Right. You have a "live ace" for low.

But read it the other way around and make the ace a one. That is, 65321 is your low.
