Omaha has a few similarities with Texas Hold’em, as in both poker modalities there are a few community cards and in both as well there are 4 betting rounds. However, in the Omaha, each player will have 4 hole cards and there will be 5 community ones, that can be used to obtain the best possible hand using 2 hole cards and 3 community ones.
The most popular modality is Omaha Hi Lo, in which the pot will be shared between the highest and the lowest hand. Therefore the best starting hand will be the one that gives more chances to get both.
This poker modality has become very popular during the last months which is why it is not surprising that the best online poker rooms have started to promote Omaha tournaments, as well as mixed ones as HORSE, for which it is crucial to know how to play Omaha.
