FAQ
- PLO8 is the hi-low version of Pot-Limit Omaha. Players have four hole cards and must use exactly two of them with three community cards to make the best high hand and the best low hand (low hand must consist of five different cards ranked 8 or lower). The pot is split between the high and low hands; if no low hand qualifies, the high hand takes the entire pot.
