Omaha
Hold 'Em Poker, or Omaha Poker for short, is one of the card games in
the poker family. It is a new take on one of the classical poker games,
with community cards within its game foundation. Omaha Poker's rules are
pretty similar to the traditional rules of Texas Hold 'Em poker,
another popular poker version that makes use of community cards.
The goal with Omaha poker is to attempt to create a better 5 card hand
than all the other players that are playing at the table. This game
requires the use of 52 cards. Players can range from two to as much as
ten.
At the beginning of the game in Omaha poker, the player who sits to the
left of the dealer will start the game with a small blind. The next
player after the first player will add a big blind. Blinds are basically
small bets that will be contributed to the pot. The requirement of
adding blinds will apply to all the players.
After everyone has contributed to the pot, all the players will be given
four cards each; these are to remain face down. These are called the
player's pocket or hole cards, and they must be kept from being viewed
by other players. Every player is required to use two of these kinds of
cards to help create their last 5 card poker hand. The players are
allowed to decide which two cards they can use to help create their
hand, using the three out of five community cards.
After the first deal has commenced, the betting will take place. After
betting, the very first selection of community cards will be placed in a
face up position by the dealer for the game. This first round is named
"Flop" and will expose three cards. Players will then place their bets;
the player who sits to the left of the dealer will be the first. If any
of the players refuses to call or agree to pay or bet, they are required
to quit the game. The rest of the players will look at the Turn; this
is the fourth community card. When everyone has placed their bets, the
very last community card, called the River, is revealed. The last bets
are called and the rest of the players will expose their 5 card hands.
Whoever has the best and most valuable hand wins whatever is in the pot.
The Omaha Poker hand rankings from the highest to lowest are: Royal
Flush, followed by Straight Flush, followed by Four of a Kind, a Full
house, a Flush, followed by a Straight, followed by a Three of a kind,
followed by a Two pair, followed by a pair, followed by a High card.
After new players have learned the very basic rules, they can finally
become more experienced by repeatedly playing the game of Omaha Poker.
After all, practice makes perfect. There are various ways to play Omaha
Poker; you can play the game at a land-based casino, at a friend's
house, or even online. The choice is up to you.
