Omaha Poker (also known as just Omaha) is a game that plays similar to Texas Hold’em. But with a few key differences.
Like Texas Hold’em, the object of Omaha is to make the best possible five-card hand. Using a combination of hole cards and five community cards.
In Omaha, however players are dealt four hole cards and must make a five-card hand using exactly two hole cards. And three community cards. This differs from Texas Hold’em. In which players get two hole cards, and can use any combination of hole cards and community cards to make the best five-card hand.
