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.
