im not screaming CHEAT CHEAT like some people might,but it is a fact sometimes the game does make mistakes. im playing omaha hi/lo on full contact poker when i get this hand...Ac,3c,4d,6s,8h (the ace and 4 are in my pocket and i lose to 2h,3c,4c,5d,6s. now unless im wrong my ace makes me the lowest hand. and if i am wrong i am sorry but i dont think i am. im not crying or anything but its just funny how even the computer can make mistakes. i still like the site and will keep playing on there but i am watching the showdowns alot more. lol

You're reading your hand backwards.

You have:

He has:

You have 8 hi. He has 6 hi. His hand is lower. He wins the lo half of the pot.

alex is right, low hands go from high card down

you can have 8432A

you are beaten by 76543

your hand is an "8 low" he has a six low.

In fact, you have one of the worst low hands. you would also be beaten by 85432.

If you want to learn about split games, Play Poker Like the Pros explains low hands better than any book I have written, you can get it at most libraries.

or, let me know what table you are playing, I will sit with you .

I typed it that way and edited it because I had a feeling what the next question was.

i wouldve screamed CHEAT CHEAT if this happened to me

The part about staying there even though "the best hand" did'nt win is quite loyal.

An 8 high low maybe?

Your explanation was spot on.

Alot of people have made this mistake. It's very common.

You need to read the low hand like a number, with the biggest number on the left. You have 84,321, he has 76,543. His number is lower. And he scoops a big pot. 8 low are a pretty weak hand in O8b.

I still fuck up in that game from time to time. I don't play it anymore and haven't in forever. It's an easy game to fuck up when you bet the hell out out your A2 on the river and you get beat by A4 and say, "Whah Hah-pen?"
