Omaha High Poker
Players share five community cards known as "The Flop" (which are dealt face-up in the center of the table). In Omaha, players dealt with four private cards face-down. In Omaha, you MUST use two of your four face-down cards along with three Flop cards on the board to form your hand. Upon the completion of betting, the best hand wins the pot.
According to Omaha Poker Rules, there are four betting rounds in a complete game - exactly the same as in Holdem. In Omaha High and Omaha 8 or Better, one bet and three raises are allowed per betting round. To continue to play, players must call all action to them on each betting round, unless they are all-in.
How to play Omaha High:
1. Prior to dealing the cards, two blinds (the Small Blind and the Big Blind) are placed in the pot by the two players to the immediate left of the dealer. (All new players to a game must "post" a Big Blind. This can be done by waiting for the actual Big Blind or posting it from another position.)
2. Everyone is dealt four "face-down" cards. The player to the immediate left of the Big Blind starts the action (by folding, calling the Big Blind, or raising). Play continues in a clockwise manner. This is the first betting round.
3. Three cards are dealt face-up ("The Flop"). This is the second round of betting. Beginning with this round of betting and throughout the remaining rounds of betting, the action begins with the player to the left of the dealer.
4. Another card is dealt face-up, known as the "The Turn" or "Fourth Street". This is the third betting round. (In Omaha High and Omaha 8 or Better games, the size of the bet doubles on this round of betting.)
5. The final card is dealt face-up, known as "The River" or "Fifth Street". This is the final round of betting.
6. Players show their hands. This is commonly called "the showdown".
When players show their hands, they MUST use exactly: two of their private cards plus three of the five boardcards.
7. Upon the completion of betting, the best hand wins the pot.
Note: The Blinds are determined by the size of the game.
