Do you play double flop (HE or Omaha) with high/low? Tell me how that works out. I thought it would be too chaotic with both flops being split for a total of 4 pots.

Yes, we play both but mainly Omaha. It's all declare and perfect is 6,4 w/ straights/flushes negating a low. There is only one pot to split and you can play from either line but not across lines. If you're trying to scoop you can play hi on one line & low on the other. Must win both to scoop as typical... also no ties. It would be chaotic to play each line seperately. FWIW, we play a bet & 3 raises caps per round.

Aha!
Thanks for the clarification Fins.
We have been playing all our double flop HE and OM as split pots (one half for each flop). It actually works out quite well and there is still the opportunity to scoop both sides. Incorporating high/low declare will be excellent for the double flop Omaha. We have always played with the wheel for low and straights/flushes not counting againts low. Do you see any difficulty in using this for the double flop Omaha high/low declaration?
