Basic explanations of PLO8

Do you play PLO8 here is a basic explanation of the game.

Hi Cardmates 

I wondered if any of you play or have played PLO8 and if so what are your thoughts and experiences of and from the game variant.

In high/low variants, the pot is split between the highest and lowest ranked hands.

If there is a tie for one or the other, those tying hands must split that half of the pot.

With one winning high hand and two winning lows, the lows each get 25% of the pot, and the high gets 50%.

In split pot games, the low hand generally has a qualifier (8 or better).

This means that the low hand has to be at least as low as the qualifier.

For 8 or better, the hand must be 5 different ranked cards less than or equal to 8.

In Omaha, the 5 cards can comprise a straight or flush and still count as a low this is in contrast to games such as 2-7 (deuce to seven).

As with the high hand in Omaha, the low hand must include 2 cards from the player's hand and 3 from the board.

When there are more than 3 low cards on the board, "live" cards are often read out to clarify the winner.

Here is and Example: if one player has A2JQ in their hand, and another has A3TK, and the board is 25679, the player with A3TK has a "live 3", and wins the hand 6532A, vs. the other player's 7652A

Hope you find this interesting or helpful i look forward to hearing your thoughts.
