I spend a fair amount of time reading, and I enjoy exploring mystery fiction through many authors. My Book Nook is a forum to share some of the gems I have found along the way.

There are different ways of defining the many genres of mystery and crime fiction. As a tool to help people find authors and books they may enjoy, my reviews refer to six genres of mystery fiction.

descriptions of violence or sex. The sleuth in these stories relies on logic and his/her intellect to solve a crime.

detective, these stories have more grit and more emphasis on sex/violence in the story line. Sometimes these stories involve a “rough around the edges” police detective who

Owing to its frequently large pots, Omaha Hi/Lo (also called ‘Omaha High Low’, ‘Omaha H/L’, ‘Omaha/8’ or ‘Omaha 8-or-better’) has ⚾️ become a hugely popular game around the world. Each player in an Omaha Hi/Lo game is dealt four private cards ⚾️ (‘hole cards’) that belong only to that player. Five community cards are dealt face-up on the ‘board’. All players use ⚾️ exactly two cards from their four hole cards in conjunction with exactly three cards from the board to make the ⚾️ best five-card poker hand possible. The pot is divided between the best hand for high and the best hand for ⚾️ low - hence the name, Omaha Hi/Lo. You may use different combinations of two cards from your hand to make ⚾️ your high hand and your low hand, but in each hand you must use precisely two from your hand and ⚾️ three from the board - no more, no less. Visit the poker hands page to view the rankings of hands ⚾️ in Omaha Hi/Lo.

Omaha Hi/Lo is played with an ‘8-or-better’ qualifier, which means that a low hand must consist of five ⚾️ different cards - ranked eight or below - to be eligible to win the low portion of the pot. Low ⚾️ hands in Omaha Hi/Lo are determined in exactly the same way they're determined in 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo. If there ⚾️ is no qualifying low hand, the high hand wins the entire pot. Omaha Hi/Lo uses the ‘Ace to Five’ or ⚾️ ‘California’ system for ranking low hands. Straights and flushes do not count against a hand, and Aces are always low ⚾️ in reading the low hand, so the best possible hand is a "wheel": 5, 4, 3, 2, A. To help ⚾️ understand the ranks of low hands, the following sample qualifying low hands (not a complete list) are ranked from least ⚾️ powerful (#1, will rarely win the low half of the pot) to most powerful (#10, the nuts):

8, 7, 6, 5, ⚾️ 4 8, 7, 6, 5, 3 8, 6, 4, 2, A 8, 4, 3, 2, A 7, 6, 5, 4, ⚾️ 2 7, 6, 5, 2, A 7, 5, 4, 3, 2 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 6, 4, 3, 2, ⚾️ A 5, 4, 3, 2, A

Note that a low hand is always ranked from its highest card downwards. So for ⚾️ example, hand #9 is known as a ‘Six-low’ because its highest card is a Six. Hand #5 is a ‘Seven-low’, ⚾️ and Hand #1 is an ‘Eight-low’. In poker slang, you distinguish between close low hands by going further down the ⚾️ ranks, so hand #9 would be called a ‘Six-Four low’, which beats hand #8, a ‘Six-Five low’. Also remember that ⚾️ straights and flushes do not count against your low hand, so making a qualifying low that is also a straight ⚾️ or a flush is a very powerful hand, that could win both the high and low halves of the pot. ⚾️ That’s called a ‘scoop’.
