On a hand of Omaha Hi-Lo, Bill was surprised when he looked down at four jacks. Before showing his hand to the table, he asked, “Should I just flip them up now?”
But Bill was about to get some bad news. In order to win jackpot in most games (including Omaha), the straight flush or four of a kind must be made within the rules of the game. When a player is dealt four of a kind as his down cards in Omaha, he cannot make four of a kind within the game.
So, although the chances of being dealt four of a kind on only four cards is 1 in 20,825, Bill did not win jackpot.
He was not happy.
