Live lows refer to one card unmatched cards that you hold in your hand while the other card pairs the board. Our low was become 'counterfeit' but do we still have a qualifying low? Of course we do. Let us say for example that we have A2JJ on a flop of 853. So in Razz terms a 34 low beats and A5 because the 4 is lower than the 5. The key to understanding the strength of the low hand is to realize that you are trying to have the lowest high card in your hand. Since O8 is a form of Omaha just like in PLO you must use exactly two cards from your hand and three from the board. One of the more complicated aspects of Omaha hi low is reading a qualifying low when there are four or more cards under eight on the board. Almost all of my previous CLPTT articles have been about live no limit cash and because I am writing this during the WSOP figured that I would include some split pot mixed game strategy here.
