Double Paired Hands in Omaha Poker

So we have to figure out who wins. Well let's look at my hand. My hand is, you know I was pretty psyched, pretty excited on that flop because I had a straight draw and a flush draw and I had a pair of sixes. But I never got any better. So this is my hand. Now remember, you take your best 5 card hand. You have to use 2 of your cards, 2 of your down cards and 3 of the board cards. Always. You cannot play the board in Omaha and you can't play all 4 of these, you can't play 3 of these. You have to play exactly 2. So, the best 5 card hand for me is the ace and the 6 along with the 6 on the board and the next two highest cards. I have a pair of sixes and then ace, queen, 10. A pair of sixes will not get it done in pot limit Omaha. And you'll see why when you look at this gal?s hand. She has, look at that, two pair; Queens and 10's also known in the game as queens up. Queens up will usually not get it done either. It may at this table though. Your hand, if I'm reading this right, and I think I am, is a pair of 8's I'm sorry to say. So the jack would play, pair of 8's and then queen, 10 and lastly look at that. We have another 2 pair; 10's and 8's. And what I said wouldn't happen, did. Queens up, queens and 10's win. The pot goes to the young lady on my left. Winner of this pot limit Omaha hand. I hope you've learned a lot. I hope you had fun and I hope you can go out and win a pot limit Omaha tournament and say that somehow Reg Brittain helped you do it.
