Omaha High — not to be confused with Omaha High/Low — is another popular variation of poker. Some people liken it to Texas Hold ‘Em, although the similarities are strictly fundamental. Whereas novice players can often learn Texas Hold ‘Em while playing, they are going to want to stay away from Omaha High until they have some more experience.
In this game, you are dealt four cards, which will be face down. This game features only blinds, so there are rarely antes. Discarding is not permitted in this game either.
The only real similarities which exist between Omaha High and Texas Hold ‘Em are the community cards. The dealer deals the Flop, three cards, face up; the Turn, one card, face up; and the River, one card, face up. A betting session follows the dealing of each.
The main aim here, after all of the community cards are dealt, is to use two of your hole cards and three of the community cards, to create the best hand.
