Omaha hi/low, I have the low hand. But another player wins it with higher cards

Happens constantly. I will get A,2, 4,5,6. Another player will have 2,3,5, 6,7. I lose and that player wins. So frustrating I had to search out these forums in an attempt to say something about it. Does this happen to anyone else? Or is there some secret rule I’m missing. I’m not confused about it. The game says I have the low hand. But constantly somebody wins it exactly as I describe.

Any thoughts?

The secret rule can be:
You have to use 2 of your Holecards, and 3 cards from table. Many times have players problems, see something wrong because this.
It would be good you show a screenshot or hand number.

No, Im not confused about that. I understand how it works. Even above the cards it says I have A,2,4,5,6… and the other player wins with 2,4,5,6,7. A,2 in my hand, 4,5,6 on the table. , The game is outright wrong. Maybe next time I can provide a Game # for somebody to look at. But as it is.. I should have won that hand. And it happens frequently. But only on the low hand , never on the high. Thanks for reading.

You can look to your last played hands and Activity page too to find something.

My thought is to master the game first by simply practicing every day.

Eventually, all these mysterious ways of losing will become crystal clear.

We can all use a little reminder choosing the best Omaha Hi Lo hands to play.

Who else to turn to than Daniel Negreanu.

Daniel says to make sure you have an ace in your hand

This hand here you didn’t have an ace but didn’t need one to win

Hi UFOsAreReal, :smiley:

For low hand the lowest high card is the determiner. His 7 is lower than your 8.

low hand works from highest card on down .
86532
76543
so in this case 76643 is correct low hand, since 7 is lower than your 8

You learn something new every day. Thanks for explaining.I thought it was the low card that determined. Time to replay some poker with some new knowledge. Thanks.
