For the rules shared with PLO (how hole cards and the board are used, pot-limit betting), see Omaha (PLO) rules.
- PLO with five (PLO5) or six (PLO6) hole cards.
- Your hand uses exactly two hole cards and three board cards, and only the high hand wins the pot.
Base: PLO
PLO5 and PLO6 are PLO with five or six hole cards.
Differences from PLO:
- Five hole cards (PLO5) or six (PLO6)
- 10 or 15 ways to pick two of them
- More combinations mean it takes a stronger hand to win
Two + three, Pot-Limit and high only are the same as PLO. The five-card Hi-Lo game is Big O.
Example. PLO6, board J♠ T♦ 4♣ 8♥ 2♠, hand A♠ K♠ Q♦ 9♣ 6♥ 6♦. Of the 15 pairs, Q♦ 9♣ + J T 8 makes a queen-high straight. A♠ K♠ is not a flush: the board has only two ♠, so you reach four.
