Full explanation
A two‑way hand can win both high and low portions in split-pot games.
Explanation. In Hi‑Lo variants (e.g. Omaha Hi‑Lo), strong hands may compete for both sides—like A‑2‑3‑4 double-suited. Holding ambidextrous potential gives scoop odds. Recognizing two‑way hand value helps guide you in playing for scoop instead of splitting or being left on one side.
