Omaha hi-lo equity calculator (Omaha 8)
A free Omaha hi-lo (Omaha 8) equity calculator: your four cards against random or known hands on any board, high and low shown. No sign-up needed.
Result (before the flop)
Your equity: 64.2% (±2.4 points)
| Player | Equity | Wins all | Splits | High (won or tied) | Low (won or tied) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| You (As 2s 3d Kd) | 64.2% | 48.3% | 31.2% | 57.0% | 48.1% |
| Opponent 1 (random hand) | 35.9% | 20.5% | 31.2% | 45.3% | 9.3% |
No low was possible in 45.3% of the deals (the high hand then wins the whole pot).
Estimate from 1,500 random deals of the unknown cards: the true equity is within ±2.4 percentage points of this number 95% of the time. The same cards always give the same estimate. Equity = your average share of the pot if every card is dealt and nobody folds. "Splits" = deals where you win part of the pot.
Solver tip (heads-up, limit betting)
You act first (small blind) before the flop, you on the button. PokerToast's trained solver plays: raise 98%, call 2%.
What each play is worth from here, in chips at 20/40, compared with folding (0): raise +37.1, call +35.8, fold +0.
What the tip assumes: heads-up limit betting; a typical pot of 1.5 small bets before this street (every earlier street bet once and called); your first decision on this street. The solver groups similar hands, so its advice is for your hand's group; it does not use dead cards or your opponent's cards. Free tips: 3 a day per address. For other betting lines, open the Calculator's Solver tab on PokerToast.
Example
A-2-3-K with two suits (ace-deuce of spades) against one random hand before the flop: 63.3% equity (estimate from 6,000 random deals, ±1.2 points). Open this example
Omaha 8 equity: the basics
In Omaha 8 every player gets four cards and must use exactly two of them with exactly three of the five board cards, for the high hand and (separately) for the low hand.
A low needs five different ranks 8 or lower. Because three must come from the board, nobody can make a low unless the board has at least three different cards 8 or lower. Then the best high hand wins the whole pot.
When the board pairs one of your low cards ("counterfeiting"), your low can lose much of its value. Try a board with an ace or a deuce on it to see it happen.
Leave an opponent's cards empty to deal them a random hand. A random hand is not what a real opponent plays, so treat the number as your equity against any four cards.
How this calculator works
- It uses the same hand rules as PokerToast's Bot Lab and Research Calculator; automated tests check that it ranks hands exactly like the site's main hand evaluator.
- When the unknown cards can be dealt in few enough ways, it checks every one of them and the answer is exact. Otherwise it deals them at random many times and shows an estimate with its margin of error.
- Opponents' unknown cards are dealt at random (any hand), not from a guessed range. Ranges, street-by-street equity and solver advice for every betting line are in the full Calculator on PokerToast.
- For a heads-up spot you also get one tip from PokerToast's own limit Omaha 8 solver, when it is loaded and has learned the spot.
