| This article explains the basic rules
of Omaha (High)
Omaha looks
like a tricky game, but boy there's a lot of betting going on. The good
news is that Omaha is basically Holdem with four hole cards. The only
tricky rule to remember is that you MUST use two of your hole cards and
three community cards to make your hand.
1) The player to the left of the dealer posts the small blind (half a
small bet).
2) The player to the left of the small blind posts the big blind (one
small bet).
3) Everyone is dealt four cards face down. These are their hole cards.
4) The player to the left of the big blind (under the gun) starts the
pre flop betting round.
5) Three cards are dealt face up in the middle. This is the flop. The
cards in the middle are the community cards, or board.
6) There is a round of betting, started by the first active player to
the left of the dealer.
7) One card is dealt face up in the middle. This is the turn.
8) There is a round of betting (in limit games, bets are now twice the
size of the first two rounds).
9) One last card is dealt face up in the middle. This is the [damn]
river, and usually ruins someone's hand and makes someone else's.
10) There is one final round of betting.
11) All active players show their hands down. Whoever can make the best
five card poker hand with two from their hand and three from the board
wins the pot. It's always two from your hand and three from the board
when you play Omaha. Always.
Omaha High only is a a lot wilder than Holdem, and a bit more
frustrating (unless you get a great flop, your opponents will always
have a draw to something stronger, but then so will you). It's a great
game to learn though, and you can record some monster wins; and
losses...
