True, but if 3 or more players you are still making more money even if you get less than 3/4 of the pot.

Omaha H/L can really suck sometimes. I once had Ad Kd Ks 2s and flop comes Kh 3d 7d giving me top set, nut flush draw and nut low draw. The turn blanks but the river counterfeits my low so I end up chopping against someone with A25x.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the but low is A/5h, which the player is holding. He is also holding the nut high, a Royal Flush.

Another wheel (player holding 2/3) is not the nut. It is a low, but not the nut low. The nut is the Straight Flush Wheel.

Therefore, I can't see how the low gets quartered.

You are wrong and will be slapped on the wrist now.
The wheel is the nut low, flush or str8 do not count for low. It does not matter if wheel is same suit or not, they all tie.

I'm sorry- Total and complete brain fade! SF wheel and a rainbow wheel are equally rated in 8B for a low.

The Lee Jones one is good for limit split pot games like Stud8 or O8 (aka O h/l). Capelleti? also has one out for O8 but I've not read it but he seems to take a different tack on the game than lee jones from some aspects; so I've heard.

I'm a big fan of both Super System books. Both are well put together with some great theory on O8, HL, R, and 7CS.
