How to play Omaha Poker
Most poker buffs will tell you that poker was most probably derived to its modern form from a variety of elements taken from a variety of early card games.
Omaha Poker is one of the earliest poker derivatives on record and there are no prizes for guessing where this thrilling game originated!
Similar to Hold'Em, Omaha is a community card poker game where players are dealt four cards (called the pocket cards), instead of two as in Hold'Em.
The Dealer then deals five community cards, with betting rounds preceding each newly dealt community card. Players must make the best five card hand using two of their pocket cards and three of the community cards.
Omaha Poker is an extremely popular form of poker because of the potential for outstanding hands to be created, which heightens excitement and enjoyment.
Omaha Poker generally allows for stronger hands to be constructed because players have the opportunity to create their best 5-card hand from a selection of nine cards, four pocket or personal cards, and five community cards.
The game play is virtually identical to that of Texas Hold ‘Em however the cards are dealt differently, which means players are in for an interesting and stimulating time!
