Proofing the Board @ Omaha

[William]

I know that in Texas Hold'em you proof the winning hand by pushing the board cards that make the winning hand up a bit.

So if the hands are and

You would proof the board and award the pot to

But how about in Omaha? Do you just proof the board, or do you proof the winning hand as well?

So would it be:
                    and award the pot to

or:
                    and award the pot to ?

or... do you proof both hands and then award it to the winner?

                    announce pair of nines

                    announce pair of tens and then award the pot to ?

I don't know the answer, but I think you need to edit your example. For those hands I would think queens and tens win (with 9 as kicker), but you have four cards (8QT9) moved forward and say J3 gets the pot?

I would say just jog the board cards used in the winning hand and leave the hole cards alone just like Hold'em.

I think it would be interesting to find out what the procedure is for Hi/Lo. Maybe adjust the board once for the Hi half and award half the pot then do the same for the Lo half?

That example is a hold 'em hand not omaha so the j3 wins with a straight to the queen vs the other hand which is 2 pair queens and tens.

I really suck on seeing straight draws on the board...

I've never played straight-up Omaha at a casino...it's always been H/L.

And in that case, I've seen all kinds of things.
