There is a Reason the Pros Prefer Omaha - Discover the Beauty of the Game

Rules of Omaha

Omaha is very similar to Texas Hold’em with one game changing factor. Instead of two hole cards, each player is dealt four hole cards. In Omaha, players must make the best possible 5-card hand by combining two of their hole cards and three community cards.

Rules of Omaha

Pot Limit

In Pot Limit Omaha (PLO), the maximum a player can bet is the amount that is in the pot. For example, a $100 bet into a $100 pot.

Positions

Positions

The following are positions that you should know before playing the game.

Small Blind (SB)
The player immediately left of the Dealer has to post the Small Blind.
Big Blind (BB)
The player on the left of the Small Blind. The Big Blind is the same as the minimum bet size.
Dealer
Each hand has one designated Dealer. The Dealer position determines the small and Big Blind positions. The Dealer button is passed clockwise after every hand.

Actions

Check
Check to complete your turn without betting. Remember that checking may be considered as a tell for possessing weak hands.
Bet
If you have a good hand, you may want to bet to win a bigger pot.
Fold
To throw away your cards and forfeit whatever you have put in the pot
Call
Call to look up your opponent’s hands. Not all bets equate to strong hands.
Raise
Tell your opponents that you’re not messing around.
All-in
Apply maximum pressure on your opponents.

The Showdown

Once a player has received their hole cards, they can play their hand by calling or raising the big blind. The first action begins to the left of the big blind. Once they have decided to call, raise or fold, the action proceeds clockwise around the table. Betting continues on each betting round until all players have placed equal bets into the pot.

After the first round of betting, the flop is dealt face-up on the board. The flop includes the first three community cards.

Once a round of betting has concluded post-flop, the turn is dealt face-up on the board. The turn is the fourth community card. Play begins once again with the active player clockwise from the button. In fixed-limit Omaha, bets and raises on the turn are in increments of the big bet.

Once the turn is complete, the river is dealt face-up on the board. The river is the fifth and final community card in Omaha poker.

The final round of betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button.

When the final betting round is complete, the remaining active players must show their cards. If there is more than one remaining player, the last person to bet or raise will show their hand. If no bets take place during the final round, the player who is immediately clockwise from the button must show their hand first.

Once all hands have been shown, the player with the best five-card hand is named the winner. In the event of identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands.
