Omaha Poker Rules
Omaha

Omaha rules are absolutely the same as Texas Hold'em rules except for two differences:

  • Each player is dealt four pocket cards.
  • Each player must use only two pocket cards and three community cards to make the best possible poker hand.

There can be up to 10 players at the poker table.

There is a round button in front of a player at the poker table called the dealer button. The dealer button determines the order of betting and moves clockwise player after player after each hand. Each hand begins with posting blinds. It means that the first two players to the immediate left of the dealer button place their bets before their cards are dealt. The first player posts the small blind equal to half the minimum bet. The second one posts the big blind equal to the amount of the minimum bet.


As soon as the blinds have been posted each player is dealt four cards face down ( the pocket cards).


Then the first betting round begins. The first player to place a bet is the one to the immediate left of the big blind, then the turn moves clockwise around the table.


There are four betting rounds in each hand. Bets and raises in the first two rounds are limited to the minimum bet and in the last two rounds equal the maximum bet. The total amount of money wagered in each betting round must not exceed the initial bet in a round four times, i.e. 1 bet and 3 raises.


After the first betting round three other cards are dealt face up (the flop). The dealer places the cards in the middle of the table.


Then the turn of the second betting round comes. Betting starts with the player to the immediate left of the dealer button. This order of betting remains the same in all subsequent rounds.


After the second betting round the dealer turns over one more card (the turn) and places it beside the flop.


The third round of betting takes place.

Finally, the dealer turns over a fifth card (the river) and the final betting round takes place.

As soon as the betting is over showdown comes. At the showdown the player with the best combination of cards (A player uses the best five cards among the combination of any two of his pocket cards with any three of the community cards to determine his hand.) wins the pot.
