It is sometimes very tough to win money playing Omaha hi low due to the many split pots. Monday in a 4 hour session won $52. Today, lost $50 despite collecting two $50 high hands (quad 8s and queen high straight flush). Won a few giant pots but lost several with lots of bets invested. In the half kill 4/8, it is possible to lose 24 + 24 + 48 +48 for a total of $144 on a single hand, even 6 more if straddled. Of course, i have seldom been in a maxed pot to the river, and if so usually claim some of it. If my monster draw or big made hand had held up on a couple of pots today would have been a big winner. Alas. My last hand had a preflop monster of A/K/K/Q double suited in a jammed pot with the flush draw and overpair. A small flop and river 4 which missed me brought a straight and a low. Left with my 2nd high hand $50 in my pocket for a 2 day net win of $2.
