Omaha Hi/Lo Blind Rules

---

All players must pay for their blinds in full before they are allowed to get the button. Therefore, the player who had posted the small blind in the prior hand will receive the button on the next deal of any game.

1. If in the event we have a new player to the game, then three (3) actions will occur.
2. If the new player is seated to the left of the blind, then he/she may choose to “post” the big blind or “wait.” If the player does post, then his/her wager is active.
3. If the new player is seated in the big blind, then he/she is treated as such.
4. If the player is seated between the button and any blind, then he/she must wait for the button to pass.

Missed Blinds rules and Procedures:

Missed big blind. If a player misses the big blind for any reason, then that player may not play in any hands until the sum of all blinds are made up. The game will place an “ML” button in that seat to declare the missed big blind. The game will ask the next active player to the left to post the big blind for the hand. If the missed player makes up the sum of all blinds, then the small blind portion is dead and must be put into the pot before the hand is dealt.

Missed small blind. If a player misses the small blind for any reason, then that player may not play in any hands until the small blind is made up. The game will place an “MS” button in that seat to declare the missed small blind. The game will ask the current big blind to please also post the small blind for the game. The game will further ask the next active player to the left to post the big blind. The player who had missed the small cannot return until after the button has passed. When and if the player does make up the missed small blind, then that money is dead and must be placed directly into the pot before any cards are dealt.
