Poker Rules - Omaha Hold'em Rules
Omaha Hold'em is similar to Texas Hold'em. The difference is that the
hands in Omaha are usually much better, since you get to choose from 9
cards total.
Hole Cards: Each player is dealt four cards face down.
The Flop: Three cards are dealt face up on the table.
The Turn: A fourth card is dealt to the table.
The River: Finally, a fifth card is dealt to the table.
The five cards on the table are community cards. Your hand is formed by
taking exactly two hole cards and exactly three community cards, and
forming the best poker hand possible. But remember, all the players
have access to the community cards. When played for money, there is a
round of betting after a round of cards is dealt (so four rounds of
betting in total).

In this example, you have a straight flush, because you can use
the Q98 of clubs on the board with the JT in your hand.
Example #2
In this example, you have two pairs, Kings over Tens. Note that
you cannot use all three Kings in your hand, since you must use
exactly two hole cards.
Example #3
In this example, you have trip Tens. You cannot use your Ace
with the Ace on the board to make a full house, because you
must use exactly three community cards. (You would pick the
three tens).
