Omaha Hi/Low Question

ozza000 · #1 11-13-2007, 04:37 PM

Board is 3h4c5hJd2s

My hand is AcAs2d8s.

What is my low hand in this situation? A2345 or A2348?

Sorry, just learning Omaha Hi/Low at the minute, and this has never been totally clear to me, though from other games I would guess I would play A2345??

Thanks.

A2345 is both your high and low.

A2 from your hand, 345 from the board.

Kurn is correct. Keep in mind you must use two from your hand and 3 from the board. Using the A,2 from your hand allows you to use the 3,4,5 from the board for a nut low. This combination also happens to make the best high hand for you in a straight. Only a couple of holdings, 2,6 and 6,7 can beat it.
