Limit Omaha 8 or Better / Grade 3 / Limit O8 stake test

High-only tax

'High-only tax' (limit Omaha 8, G3): quarters are the silent bleed — tag them harder than coolers.

Worked example

three-low flop, 2nd-nut low + weak high — control; nut low + live high — press.

Common leak

Buddy leak ('High-only tax'): 'I have a low' as a complete reason multiway.

Drill

Drill ('High-only tax'): tag one quartered river and write the earlier fold that prevented it.

Coaching note

Hi-lo coaching staple: an 8-low or better must qualify — know the house rule before you chase halves. Check 'High-only tax' against it.

Practice habit

sticky-note the trigger for 'High-only tax' before your next limit Omaha 8 session.

Drill

buddy repeats 'High-only tax' in one sentence with a concrete board — or you re-teach.

Remember

Avoid scoopless middles.
