    someone explain to me why queens full of jacks looses to ace high straight in omaha hi-lo .

  2.  

    Remember you must use two hole cards and three board cards. (Edit corrected 4 to 3).

    So to make a full house, there must be a pair on the board.

    The other option would be that you did have the full house, but were beat by a royal flush. Could that Ace-high straight have been suited?Last edited by bright star on Tue Feb 21, 2006 1:20 am; edited 1 time in total

    You probably lost to a straight flush. Everytime the chips go the wrong way in that situation for me, it turns out the other guy had quads or a str8 flush.

    Chances are that you misread your hand. You have to post the hand history.

    let me guess

    the board looked something like TQJJQ

    and you had a Q but no J

    you may not know this, but in omaha you need to use *2* cards from your hand

    you cant use only one, or play the board like in hold'em

    so your hand looked like this: QQQJX

    you had your Q trips beaten by a straight.

    makes sense, no?

    oh yes

    just a point of conjecture

    learn to use hand histories to your advantage

    quite useful things they are.

    you must not have been playing poker. because the poker rules rank a full house higher than a str8.

    lol

    just kidding.

    you must be missing something.

    dont forget this is hi low, so maybe the other guy won the lo with ace-5 and some1 else had a better full house?

    You mean two hole cards and *three* board cards.

    Whenever you have some free time, let's play.
