Object of the Game
Omaha is a form of Texas Hold'em, except the players are dealt 4 down cards
(hole cards) as their initial starting hand. Two players to the left of the
dealer button post blinds.
The Play
The action starts with the first player in front of the big blind
(clockwise). There are 3 other betting rounds - the Flop, the Turn, and the
River. The five board cards are community cards and belong to all active
players. Players must use exactly 2 cards from their 4-card hand
and 3 cards from the board (community cards) to produce their best 5-card
hand. The hole cards and the board cards are interchangeable for high or low.
To win the low half the player must have an 8 or better (lower) to qualify,
or the high hand wins the entire pot.
Check and raise are permitted.
A bet and 3 raises are allowed.
