After watching this video, I tried (PL) Omaha Hi-Low for the first time and finished 7th out of 59. Not too shabby. I'm definitely liking it more than NLH. :)
Thanks Daniel. I used to be a NLHE Cash & tournament player but since watching streamers like TalonChick & jcarver play Hi-Lo, NLO8, Omaha Hi-Lo has become my game of choice. So much more fun & the number of hands that you can play is so much bigger.
Daniel, I mean this when I say that you’re the greatest ambassador for the game we’ve ever had. You seem to genuinely want ppl to love poker as much as we do. I thank you, and applaud you, you’re legacy will live forever!
Watching this videos right now. One thing about you are one of the GOATS (don’t matter what new school says) is the easy way you’re explaining all this stuff. Master class baby. Just no sense.
Thanks for the video Daniel. Now, it would be really nice to be able to watch some live action of this game with the hole cards being shown - like we see so much of in Hold'em.
Five days after you posted this video you sat down next to me at the 20-40 LO8 table at Bellagio and chatted with us (but didn't play, unfortunately). Good video--I would say you covered 70-80% of what I would teach someone (if I were to teach them all the advanced LO8 strategy). One thing that wasn't discussed much was PLO8 vs LO8 and I feel this video was geared more towards LO8 (which is fine since it's the more common live cash game).
I'm not poker pro. Our most local casino has a Limit Omaha 8 tournament every labor day for $100. Last year there were 120ish entrants. I made it to the final 4 contestants and we chopped 4 ways for $1600 each. In the past year I've introduced my girlfriend of 4 years to poker. She has taken to it well, won her first at home tournament and finished 9/124 recently at her 3rd lige casino tny recently. The labor day Omaha8 tny is coming up this Monday and I found this video especially helpful and insightful to teach her the basics and fundamentals of this great game
I’m a champion at this game now I’ve watched this video around 70 times. I watch it every time I’m about to go in and play I don’t change my play at all I fold until I get the correct combination and 8 out of ten times I’m either gonna scoop or get half the pot. Once you learn all the mistakes there’s no reason why you can’t win every time you play. Thank you Kid Poker. Don’t leave home without an ACE!!
I'm heading to vegas for WSOP in July!!! Can't wait! playing "The Giant"...love the buy-in, love the deep stackiness! I will be at the rio for day 1 of main event...I hope to meet you Daniel (although I tend to develop a speech impediment when I see famous people...I walked past Phil Ivey once and it was horrible...my brain forgot how to make words!). Anyway...I'm renting a car this year while in vegas...can anyone provide suggestions on good cheap places to eat? Also, if there was a cool non-tourist thing to do or see while there.
I am playing in a tournament (on break right now) and I am 5 positions out of a paid win (27th or better) and I had pre-flop KK Qh 8h and I folded because it was not KK Qh 10h or better. Was that a good move or should I have gone for it? It was 800 to call to see the flop and I had 4,738 chips. Blinds go up to 750/1500 in 5 minutes now. I have folded everything except one hand that was AA and something good. The only hand I played and won this whole tournament. Every other hand was none of the good hands you mentioned in this video. UPDATE: I folded everything else (none were good hands mentioned in this video) and squeaked in to paid spot at 25. =)
Always loved this guy...great tutorial. I wanted in this game...I know now when I have won some good$$$ I was mostly lucky. Frankly I used to lose hands with what I thought was a lock low and just keep quiet so no one knew I had no clue what I was doing...lol
Tanku Daniel following you strategies from the beginning of playing poker included your masterclas ;) tanks a lot. I tried to play an plo tournement for fist time 33$ i just dind understand it at all like i have nut flush how is it an split pot... even maild te platform xD omg its plo8 never hurt it im a new player in this. Just started playing for 2 years with money. Now im in the bubble quick ressearch before i make the final hahaha. So lets play thumbs up to you 👍👍😁
Daniel, I would love to see you go over pot limit and no limit omaha. 2-7 triple draw and explain the difference between badugi, baducey and badacey. Thanks great job!
Thanks for the tutorial Daniel, I just picked up on a few tips there to help my game. I must say, you have the best personality of all the poker pros. Voting you # 1 Thanks for the educational vlogs.
I accidentally joined a 120 player PLO Hi/Lo tournament..I know how to play PLO, didnt really get the Hi/Lo part but didnt play garbage like most people. Found it quite easy, finished 2nd place for $40..Had the lead 25bb vs 8bb but he had a lucky streak. Think I might play more PLO, a bit more to calculate but it's fun and fish don't know how to play. Cash games were draining my bankroll, just keep chipping up but you lose one big hand and you're down for the day. SNG's and other tournaments seem pretty soft too.
I was taught not to play a hand without an Ace and not to play a hand with a Nine. But I was in an unraised big blind with 9963, four differrent suits and the flop was A99. We capped the fllop three ways and the turn was a 2 and I bet and was called in two places and the low cam on the river and my 63 won the low
I just entered a hi lo tournament on bovado, accidentally clicked on it cause I thought it was NLH. Took 4th out of 150+ people. I had to learn on the fly bc I'd never played it before. So yeah now I'm here 🤣🤣🤣
He forgot to mention you need 4 or 5 dealers at the table. PROTECT YOUR HAND. Many casino dealers get totally confused by this game and miss who really has the low.
Jumped into my first PLO 8 Tourney, while Dnegs is teaching me how to play.. SWEET.. did o.k. for my first time.. Won like 8 hands in a row.. but I am still missing something. I will figure it out... I hope..
A pair doesn't count for a low because the cards have to all be different ranks, but having a low that is also a straight or flush doesn't stop you from having a low. Its different from 2-7, because straights and flushes *do* count against you, which is why 23457 is the best hand, and not A2345.
Gahahahahaha!! Go to 7:13 and press play. Daniel, great advice. You just confirmed everything I've learned over the years. Listen to this video closely, people!
Next game I want to see is 2-7 single draw. I thought I had got the fundamentals of the game but I found myself always losing to hands just a tiny notch better than mine (like 7-5 versus 7-6, etc).
I love that game and there is little to non learning materials available online. But he is teaching the limit games now. I would settle for 2-7 triple draw though.
lol, exactly what Adam said. Somebody upstairs doesn't want you to win if you're losing with 76 lows in 2-7 SINGLE draw. But I know that pain. The same person is driving my poker game from above, too.
Thanks for the video. I still don't understand how to determine the low hand.. I tried playing at my local Elks Lodge against a bunch of 90 year old dudes and they didn't help at all and took all my money.
Lmao there has to be 3 low cards 8 or lower on the board for there to be a low! Then you have to have 2 cards 8 or lower in your hand to make a 5 card low hand boss.
This game confuses the hell out of me? How is a2 on a board of 678 any good? Isn't a nut low vs a nut high something like someone having top 2 ak vs your lowest pair connected as 2? that woul'd be the lowest hand a pair of 2,or aces I guess. 678 you have no pair?
Why are you allowed to not bet the nuts in Omaha H-L specifically? And why do you think this rule is stupid? (I understand it only applies to the river when you are last to act - you must bet or raise to avoid "soft play").
Because in some situations, getting quartered, or sometimes even less, costs you more money than what you make. And you can get quartered (or worse) for high too, not just low.
O8 should be played with K high. Aces should ONLY be low. TJQKA is NOT a straight here. A2345 is still the nuts for low and is still a straight, , but the Ace in your is next to worthless for the high. This makes it impossible to have a monster low with awesome high, such as As2s3c4. The strong low creates very weak flushes and no high pairs. The only really good low hand with decent high potential would be A23K with a suited king. KKA2 would also be a beast, but could not have counterfeit protection. This should make the balance between low oriented hands and high oriented hands more level. I expect this game would be far better played with 5 cards.
Not hating Daniel but I can’t keep up with your fast talking and poker terms I don’t know of haha. Do you have a video teaching us the language so we can keep up?

Manas Phadke same here buddy! used to only play 6max NL and now because of jcarvs i am hooked on 8-game. gl and keep grinding;)
I wouldn't really say it's so much bigger. You should be playing somewhat of a similar % in both games, all things else equal.
accidentally entered lo hi tournament online thinking it was hold 'em. Watching this while I play for the first time lol.
brooo im at the same point right now😂😂😂
I have done the same thing online so many times lol
Love it 😂😂
Bro!! I just did the same!
Same….
2nd year in a row before playing an 08 bracelet event am I watching this to learn - I cashed it last year though!

Seriously they don’t televise these games enough
subscribe to pokergo and watch some previous wsop omaha final tables, great learning tool.
Free advice for you kids out there: if a stranger comes to you and asks "Looking for action?" you reply: "No." Learned the hard way, trust me.
Same goes for playing pool 😀
Someone tried to play you heads up in plo8 lol?
Same thing goes for hookers, just say Neaux 😢

So good analysis of the game in less than 20 minutes. Thnx a lot Daniel you're a great guy. Greetings from Greece.

Forget explanation, do a tutorial on them. That'd be neat. I'd like to get more into them.
Great intro Daniel. You are a great ambassador for the game sir.
Thanks for the tutorial Daniel, I just picked up on a few tips there to help my game.
I must say, you have the best personality of all the poker pros. Voting you # 1 Thanks for the educational vlogs.
thanks for the info brother I love seeing you uploading more!
These are so good. But it would be great if they were re-uploaded with more graphics on the examples. Thanks for a great video !
Hi Daniel, I proposed to you before and exchange of coaching, you to me in poker and I to you in Spanish. Take it man!!. Tx
lol
Awesome video! And thanks for keeping it entertaining. Go "el matador!"
playing an O8 trny in 15minutes, this was great to watch in the bathroom stall beforehand. thanks!

It's actually more enjoyable than regular NLH
I find hi-lo so much more fun than regular hold'em.
I was playing way too wide prior to watching this.
That moment when I accidently joined an omaha tourn on pokerstars, and then have to learn with this video while playing my first hands :O
He forgot to mention you need 4 or 5 dealers at the table. PROTECT YOUR HAND. Many casino dealers get totally confused by this game and miss who really has the low.
When playing O8 that quarter section is much more relevant than I initially thought
Thanks Kid…I shall go back and redeem myself now 💪🏼
Jumped into my first PLO 8 Tourney, while Dnegs is teaching me how to play.. SWEET.. did o.k. for my first time.. Won like 8 hands in a row.. but I am still missing something. I will figure it out... I hope..
THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS DANIEL!
How many big bets should you sit with in a cash game?
Daniel, doesn't A 2 3 4 5 make a straight? I assumed paired 2s make a pair and doesn't count for low, so a straight would also fit in that category?
Ha! I wasn't thinking of anything. I play hold em religiously, but I wanna learn Omaha. Thanks for the reply sir.
A pair doesn't count for a low because the cards have to all be different ranks, but having a low that is also a straight or flush doesn't stop you from having a low.
Its different from 2-7, because straights and flushes *do* count against you, which is why 23457 is the best hand, and not A2345.
It's both a straight and a low yes
A lesson on one of my favorite Poker games from the great Daniel Negreanu. Sweet!
Yo Mr. Negranu, where'd you get that shirt lol...
Cheers Daniel, entered hi-lo by accident. Only knew the hi😁.
Just did the exact same thing. I was getting really lucky with flushes for a while - I think - then out.. LOL.
It's a fun game! Try it again
Is the lo worked out like Razz if its tied on the highest lowest card?
Same shit, razz is 5 lowest cards period though
Played this before and didn’t even realize to not open h less you have a ace crazy
Gahahahahaha!! Go to 7:13 and press play. Daniel, great advice. You just confirmed everything I've learned over the years. Listen to this video closely, people!
?
Great video Daniel
This a very helpful video. Thanks Daniel!
I wonder how Daniel would play KQ23, a hand he mentions near the end.
Does anyone know an online poker site that has Omaha Hi-Lo?
Thank you so much for this Daniel
Thank you sir, your the best!!
What about playing a live card? That does tend to get confusing.
Daniel Negreanu I think he means the "live low" term when you have A24x on A236K you have a '"live four" for low
Next game I want to see is 2-7 single draw. I thought I had got the fundamentals of the game but I found myself always losing to hands just a tiny notch better than mine (like 7-5 versus 7-6, etc).
I love that game and there is little to non learning materials available online. But he is teaching the limit games now. I would settle for 2-7 triple draw though.
If you're frequently losing at NL 2-7 SD with made 7s, check up your opponents' sleeves.
Lol, ok I MAY have meant 8-7 versus 8-6.
lol, exactly what Adam said. Somebody upstairs doesn't want you to win if you're losing with 76 lows in 2-7 SINGLE draw. But I know that pain. The same person is driving my poker game from above, too.
It'd be cool if they turned 8-game in to 9-game by adding NL 2-7 single draw to the mix.
The thing about Hilo and Omaha in general, it feels like you’re playing with a completely different deck. Whole mindset has to change from Holdem.
Thanks Daniel - best guy to give the the skinny on the game.
This game is so much fun. Thanks for this video - although it would have saved me a lot of money if it Dame put 5 years ago 😂
I subscribe because of Mikey Hash.

Thank you thank you ...I've been winning thank you thank you

I don't know why this game isn't more popular than hold em.
It's cool, the Spanish thing works for me.......ariba ariba Dan!
what's 8-max mean?
O8 should be played with K high. Aces should ONLY be low. TJQKA is NOT a straight here. A2345 is still the nuts for low and is still a straight, , but the Ace in your is next to worthless for the high. This makes it impossible to have a monster low with awesome high, such as

13:45 "If you are against aggro players, you can check-raise in position to thin the field." How, exactly, does one check-raise when in position?
Why do you look like Charlie day here?
Watching this while missclicking on hi/lo tournament :D
"Layne, Don't you know what nut-nut mean, baby?"
bro the spanish thing is awesome
im hi lo does straight consist only in 4 cards
Omaga hi low is really complex gamble game! i mean is not often profit with lowest hand!
I flopped quads and its a split pot, i dont get it!!!
there is a low
Isaiah Webb so you get have a royal flush and split the pot with someone that has a pair of 2's?
im saying they must have had more low cards thats the only way they can split.
pault989 you clearly need to watch the video again.... low is 5 unpaired cards below 8... that's literally all it means, but the lower the better.
I flopped quads with a better kicker. Chop it up!
omaha hi-lo is not only limit! also no limit and pot limit is possible
This video turned me to a chronic winner from chronic a loser in one viewing.
Daniel , Work on your audio ok ???? Love your vlog but hate wearing earplugs to hear it.
Thanks
I can hear him loud and clear on less than half volume, no earplugs. Perhaps its time to upgrade your computer/speakers.
Let's confuse people by explaining live lows.
Love this game
Daniel,you win because your nice Gentle Man,
I wish I knew this when someone said "lets play omaha h/l," and I'm playing like regular plo and I'm bitching that I get a flush and split the pot.
Play that strategy in 6max (nearly all games are 6max) and you'll bleed out thanks to the blinds as you simply won't play enough hands.
How do you blind out in a cash game 😅😅
Always look for those who are only focused on making the nut low. So easy to quarter them with marginal high hands.
