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. Two versions of Omaha 💸 are commonly played around the world, Pot Limit Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo (aka Omaha Eight or Better). The next sections 💸 will cover Omaha Hi-Lo. Learn how to play Pot Limit Omaha here. Omaha Hi Lo Rules Overview Omaha 8, also known as 💸 Omaha Eight or Better, or Omaha high low split ('Hi/Lo'), is a split pot game. The best high hand wins 💸 half of the pot, and the best low hand wins the other half of the pot. |
