Since
in Omaha High Low Poker and in other split pot games, we try
to win the whole pot instead of just half, these "no low" stats
can be important. In roughly a third or so of the hands dealt
there will be no qualifying eight or better low hand possible
so, the highest hand wins all the pot. This is about that.
With every
player being dealt four cards instead of two or three like
in other poker games, they all have a lot more knowledge about
the unseen deck starting out. For example, If your starting
hand has four high cards, you are holding 20% of all the high
cards in the deck. High cards are crucial to these results.
. The No-Low charts shown here take these variences into consideration
with three different type starting hands.
