Omaha
Hold' Em
Omaha is similar to hold’em in using a three-card flop
on the board, a fourth boardcard, and then a fifth boardcard.
Each player is dealt four holecards (instead of two) at the
start. In order to make a hand, a player must use precisely
two holecards with three boardcards. The betting is the same
as in hold'em. At the showdown, the entire four-card hand
should be shown to receive the pot.
The best possible five card poker hand, using exactly two
hole cards and three community cards, wins the pot.
Betting Rounds
1.The dealer deals each player their own four cards face-down
(pocket cards)
2.1st betting round
3.The dealer burns a card then turns over three community
cards face-up
(the flop)
4.2nd betting round
5.The dealer burns another card then turns over 1 more community
card (the turn,4th street)
6.3rd betting round
7.The dealer burns another card then turns over 1 final
community card (the river,5th street )
8.Last betting round
9.Showdown (Every remaining player shows hand with bettor
showing first)
All remaining players must use their two pocket cards and
the three boardcards.
RULES OF OMAHA
1. All the rules of hold’em apply to Omaha except
the rule on playing the board, which is not possible in
Omaha (because you must use two cards from your hand and
three cards from the board).
OMAHA HIGH-LOW
Omaha is often played high-low split, 8-or-better. The
player may use any combination of two holecards and three
boardcards for the high hand and another (or the same) combination
of two holecards and three boardcards for the low hand.
RULES OF OMAHA HIGH-LOW
1. All the rules of Omaha apply to Omaha high-low split
except as below.
2. A qualifier of 8-or-better for low applies to all high-low
split games, unless a specific posting to the contrary is
displayed. If there is no qualifying hand for low, the best
high hand wins the whole pot.
