Hi all,
I understand the basic rule of low for Omaha Hi/Low, but I don't know about low rankings.
What is more important for the low rankings: the first card being higher or the last card being lower?
for example, which is the better low hand:
A,2,3,4,8 vs 2,3,4,5,6?
A,2,4,5,8 vs A,3,4,5,6
This is explained in the first section of my PLO8 article, which you can find here. or if you prefer you can watch the video version.

In practice, the easiest way is to read it from the highest numbers to the lowest.
First : 84321 > 65432 65432 is the lower
Second : 85421 > 65431 65431 is the lower
For another example, A,2,4,5,7 is losing to 2,3,4,5,6 ( 75421 > 65432 ). This one is pretty tricky and you could lose the stack if you hold A4xx suited, and you make a set for high and A,2,4,5,7 for low.

Why didn't I use this explanation when having to explain it to mates? Nice one.
