Omaha Hi-Lo Split is an alternate name for Omaha Hi-Lo, the split-pot poker variant also called Omaha 8 or Better and Omaha Hi-Low Split. The name emphasizes the split-pot nature of the game: the pot is divided between the best high hand and best qualifying low hand at showdown. This is a player-versus-player live poker game. For full rules, strategy, and where to play, see the main guide. You'll find live tables at most major properties. See our full US casino directory for venue contact details and hours.
Omaha Hi-Lo Split is a naming variation on Omaha Hi-Lo. The term split appears in some card room listings and tournament schedules to emphasize that the pot is divided between high and low winners. The game is identical to Omaha Hi-Lo and Omaha 8 or Better in every respect: four hole cards, five community cards, exactly two from the hand, and a split pot between the best high hand and best qualifying low hand (five unpaired cards at 8 or below). If you see this game listed at a poker room, it is the same game covered in detail in our main Omaha Hi-Lo guide.
Omaha Hi-Lo Split is the same game as Omaha Hi-Lo and Omaha 8 or Better.
Players are dealt four hole cards and must use exactly two with three community cards.
The pot is split between the best five-card high hand and the best qualifying low hand (8 or lower).
If no player qualifies for the low, the best high hand wins the entire pot.
Betting is typically fixed-limit, though pot-limit variations exist in some rooms.
For a complete how-to-play guide, see the Omaha Hi-Lo page.
The rules governing Omaha Hi-Lo Split are identical to those described in the Omaha Hi-Lo entry. Each player receives four cards. At showdown, players form the best five-card high hand using exactly two hole cards and three board cards. Separately, players form the best five-card low hand — also using exactly two hole cards and three board cards — but only if all five cards are unpaired and ranked eight or lower. The pot divides as evenly as possible between the two winners, with the odd chip going to the high hand. If no low qualifies, the high hand wins the entire pot. The full rule set with examples is on the Omaha Hi-Lo page.
Yes. Omaha Hi-Lo Split is simply an alternate name for Omaha Hi-Lo. The word split emphasizes that the pot is divided between high and low winners. All rules and strategy are identical.
Omaha Hi-Lo Split uses the same strategy as Omaha Hi-Lo (8 or Better).
Play two-way hands that can scoop both the high and low halves. Avoid hands that can only win one side.
A-2-X-X with suited and connected side cards is the premium starting hand category.
Watch for quartering situations where your low equity is shared with another player.
Counterfeit protection matters — backup low cards protect against board cards that pair your low cards.
For a complete strategy guide with starting hand rankings and post-flop play, see the Omaha Hi-Lo page.

Strategy for Omaha Hi-Lo Split mirrors Omaha Hi-Lo strategy in every way. The guiding principle is to play hands that have potential to win both halves of the pot (scoop) rather than contending for only one side. Starting hand requirements, position considerations, and quartering awareness all apply identically. For a detailed strategy breakdown with hand examples, see the Omaha Hi-Lo strategy section.
This game is found at poker rooms that spread mixed games and limit poker. The same venues that host Omaha Hi-Lo — the Orleans and South Point in Las Vegas, the Commerce and the Bike in Los Angeles, and East Coast rooms like Parx and MGM National Harbor — may list it under this name. For a complete list of where to play, consult the Omaha Hi-Lo where-to-play section or browse our US casino directory.

Another common name for the same game, emphasizing the 8 qualifier for low hands.
Yet another naming variant. Same game with the alternate hi-low spelling. See that alias page.
High-only Omaha with pot-limit betting. No split pot. Purer high-hand action.
For the complete rules, strategy, and venue listings for this game, visit the main Omaha Hi-Lo page. For the alternate nomenclature, see Omaha 8 or Better. For the high-only version of Omaha, see Pot-Limit Omaha and Omaha. For mixed games that include Omaha Hi-Lo in rotation, see our Mixed Games guide.
The split designation is added to distinguish the game from standard high-only Omaha and to make clear to new players that the pot is divided. Some card room scheduling systems use the full name.
