Official Jazzfanz Inaugural Poker Tournament 1-29-2011 7:30 MST @pokerstars

I like Omaha H/L but forget how to play.

High and Low hands split pot 50:50, unless no low hand is dealt (see following). 4 hole cards. Board dealt same as hold 'em. Must use 2 from your hand and 3 from board. Can use any combo for high and for low, including using the same card(s) for each. A.2.3.4.5 is lowest possible. Must have 3 cards below 8 on board for a low hand to be possible, or high side gets the entire pot. A pair or higher negates a low hand. High hands work the same. Same player can win high and low portions in the same hand.
 
How many of you are planning to play on Saturday?
 
I'm not sure if I'll be there or not. I do have a question about it. Does a player have to stay for the whole game? If not, how does that work?

No, if you leave the game temporarily or permanently you will still be dealt cards and will still have the blinds posted from your stack when it's your turn to pay the blinds. Your hand is automatically folded while you're gone and unless you're in the big blind and everyone else folds (which would be a mistake) then you cannot win a hand. When all your chips are gone from paying blinds you will be eliminated and whatever place you finish in will count, including if you are "in the money." If you leave during the game you can come back and resume playing with the chips you have left.
