Omaha Poker Rules

Omaha is a variation of Holdem played with 4 hole cards instead of 2. At showdown, the best 5-card hand using 2 (and only two) of your hole cards and 3 cards from the board wins.  In Omaha you can't use more than 3 cards from the board.  Players are dealt 4 cards at the beginning.  Just like Texas Holdem, there is a small blind, a big blind, and a round of betting before the flop.

After the 1st round of betting, the dealer then lays out the flop and then there is a round of betting.



The dealer then lays out the 4th (turn) card. and then there is another round of betting.



The dealer now deals out the 5th (river) card. and afterwards there will be another round of betting.



The winner is the player who has the best 5 card hand using 2 cards from their hand and 3 cards from the board.
