Should both the highest and lowest hands reside with one player, he gets the whole pot. This dual high and low winning hand form sets it apart from other variants and engenders some very different strategies as a player sets forth to enhance his betting odds to the highest level possible.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Both the games of Omaha 8 and Omaha High-Low are the same, but however you find it, the game is peculiar in its split pot, i.e. the pot is divided between the player with the highest hand and the one with lowest. Should both the highest and lowest hands reside with one player, he gets the whole pot. This dual high and low winning hand form sets it apart from other variants and engenders some very different strategies as a player sets forth to enhance his betting odds to the highest level possible. Omaha calls for a single betting format and it is not a rarity for players to be actively seeking the highest or lowest or both hands along with all their opponents. Common to all poker types, the nuts (best hand) takes the pot.</p>
<p>If you are a newcomer to Omaha 8, it is a good idea to watch several games due to the complexity of strategy and not unlike other poker forms, betting in this game is a mosaic of aggression, bluffing and value betting. This combination is influenced by the dual pot and demands that the player gain an in-depth comprehension of the elements that go into the winners. The ideal means for beginning the study of Omaha 8 is with the rules.. One must study these in detail and retain them. Strategy is best learned by entering into a beginner game and building on it level by level. Do not get yourself into a high level pot limit game without keeping the thought that this high level game will also bring with it multiple raises. Venture into this type of game with plenty of liquid assets so you can compete for a decent amount of time.</p>
<p>The format of play in Omaha 8</p>
<p>Holdem and Omaha standard versions follow the same arrangement as Omaha 8 when it comes to declaring the highest hand. The low hand determining factors though are different The low hand in Omaha 8 must meet the following criteria:</p>
<p>The reason for its name of Omaha 8 is due to the fact that a player must play a card of eight or under as part of his hand. As the rules require that hole cards must be used, two of their cards must be lower than this value for the hand to be considered low.</p>
<p>In the event of no hands meeting such conditions for the low pot, the highest hand rakes in the entire pot similar to the normal Omaha rules. The Ace, which is low and the eight are the sole cards vying for the winning hand in Omaha 8. For the high hands, all cards qualify and a player can form his triumphant hand with a mix of high and low hands.</p>
<p>You will usually find Omaha with standard pot limit rules, though limit and no limit are not totally out of the picture and can be found at some tables. One thing common to all Omaha 8 games is the split pots at high and low levels. This feature demands an in-depth understanding of what winning hands can be made up of and how this effects betting strategy.</p>
<p>It should always be in your mind as a player that a hand of three or four of a kind renders it almost impossible to win either end of the pot due to the two hole card rule, which leaves the player holding a pair at best. The epitome of a winning hand will consist of ace-two suited as this duo can produce several different high hand combinations while also being the one lowest ranked low pot taker. The ultimate low hand is called a wheel and includes A-2-3-4-5. At the top of hand supremacy is the Royal flush put together with three community cards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Horse poker is one of the most challenging games in poker. If you&#8217;re wondering about the name and how it was derived then you&#8217;ll be surprised to know it&#8217;s an acronym. That&#8217;s right the name is made up from the first letter of other poker games. You&#8217;ve probably already figured this out but the actual poker games are Holdem, Omaha, Razz, Seven card stud and Eight or better. If you take the first letter of each game you get the word HORSE.</p>
<p>In horse poker the rules change in each round, as and when the dealer button rotates. Horse poker is very hard to play and even the experienced player would find it difficult to win the pot containing the clay poker chips since they may not be proficient in all the games and the concerned rules.</p>
<p>For those advanced players who want a challenging game of poker then horse poker is definitely the right choice. The rounds change each time the dealer button is rotated. The rules are different in each hand and the most challenging part of the game is that the blinds also increase. Hence the amount of chips that you have to stake from your chip cases will also increase.</p>
<p>Horse poker is not for the beginner poker player. This variety of poker requires a level of experience that&#8217;s more suited for only the most advanced players. Even the advanced player needs to pay close attention to the entire game or they&#8217;ll wind up loosing their entire chip set stack. If their attention slightly deviates then the whole game could turn against them.</p>
<p>The horse poker game is a limit game which includes one of the most popular of poker games, the Texas holdem poker game. Horse can also be played at tournaments, either online which is very popular today, or live. It&#8217;s a really exciting game to play, and even much more fun when playing with casino grade poker chip sets. You must learn all the rules well to play the five poker game variations.</p>
<p>The game involves the players to change their game and rules in each level. Playing well in the level that the players are experienced and well versed in will help them to compensate the losses incurred at the level that they are not so experienced in. Limiting bets in each level that they are not familiar with will also help them limit their losses of clay chips.</p>
<p>The mixture of five popular games in horse makes the game more exciting and fun and very suitable to players who prefer tough challenges. The sequence of the games is according to the acronym which goes as follows Holdem, Omaha, Razz, Seven Card stud, Eight or better. Hence remembering the sequence by revising the acronym through out the game can help you remember the game you are about to play and the rules you have to follow in the concerned levels.</p>
<p>The sequence is rotated in different ways, according to the hand played, blinds, and time. Hence be very careful while staking your poker chips in each round and keep track of the changes of variation and play by following the appropriate rules.</p>
<p>No one enjoys the game of poker more then Tony Shaunber. He loves playing the game regardless if it&#8217;s for fun or for competition. He always makes sure that at any event they have plenty of quality <a href="http://www.magicacepoker.com/poker-chips-c-12.html">clay poker chips</a> at hand. For the home game tournaments, when playing with friends, Tony likes playing with <a href="http://www.magicacepoker.com">custom chips</a> to give the game a little more color and excitement.</p>
