Similar to Pot Limit Omaha (PLO), Omaha Hi-Lo also has a huge number of starting hand combinations. However, being a split pot game where a player's intention is to make a good high and a good low hand, some of the best decisions in this game are made pre-flop. The best hands in Omaha Hi-Lo can help win a player both the high and the low hand.
