I still don't understand hi/lo games :oops:

This would win hi and lo right provided no1 had a boat because you can use the nut flush for the hi and wheel for the lo?

to add to the confusion, lowball games (2-7) are completely different.

Yes - And if you didn't have the flush, the straight could play for high.

Omaha gets a little tricker as You have to play 2 of the 4 cards in your hand for low & 3 from the board. Same goes for high. You see beginners with a board like K K J J 2 - They have a K in their hand and think they have a boat, but you HAVE To play 2 cards from your hand. So you would need KJ or J2 or 22 or K2 to have a boat. Same rules as the low stud - The low hand has to be eight or better to qualify for low. Sometimes Omaha is played High only - As I think it is in HORSE.

I've just started playing stud hi/lo and omaha... they are a real nice change of pace. I'm starting to get the hang of them.
