ABOUT OMAHA POKER
Omaha is a poker game .
The rule of Omaha is similar to Texas Hold'em Poker.
Each player has four down cards, and five face-up "community" cards are dealt face-up on the table.
The player combines both player's cards and community cards to make the best possible five-card hand.
But, player must use two hole cards and three community cards to make the five-card hand.

Play begins by dealing four cards to each player, and play proceeds clockwise from left side player of Big Blind.
Each Player free to Fold, Call, or Raise.

When each player betting the same amount to the pot, three cards are dealt face up in the table . This is called "Flop".
After and on the "Flop", play proceeds from Small Blind player.

The next round is "Turn". In this round, 4th card is dealt face-up in the table.
The bets on the "Turn" and "River" are usually double size.

Then the final card is dealt face-up in the table. This is called "River".

About Hi-Lo Split

The winner who have best Hi hand and best Low hand can get the pot.

The strangth order of best hand(High) is

One Pair
No Pair
The strangth order of worst hand(Low) is

No Pair
One Pair
Two Pair
Three of a kind
Full House
Four of a kind
(Flush and Straight is not used on the worst hand!!)

This game use 8 or Better rule for worst hand(Low).
This means that the all of five cards must 8 or lower.
On the 8 or Better rule, No Pair is only effective hand .
i.e) 9432A -> NG, 432AA -> NG, 8432A -> OK

On the worst hand(Low), Ace is not Hi-Ace. Ace is a lowest card.
So the best of worst hand is 5432A.
