The Beginner's Guide to Omaha


Summary:
This 740-word article teaches curious poker players the basics of Omaha Hi: a card game that is very similar to Texas Hold´em.
Details or Sample:
Excerpt:

In Omaha, your goal is to create the best five-card hand from a total of nine cards: four in your hand and five community cards. The catch is that, unlike Hold’em, Omaha requires you to use exactly two of your hole cards. This means that you will take three of the five community cards to make your hand – and hope that what you end up holding is good enough to take the pot.


Excerpt:

Betting depends on which Omaha game you’re playing. Omaha can be fixed-, pot- or no-limit. Fixed-limit games have specific amounts for betting and raising. In pot-limit games, you can bet or raise up to the size of the pot. In no-limit Omaha, you can bet or raise every chip you have.

Omaha has four betting rounds. They come:

After your hole cards are dealt.

After the flop (first three community cards) are dealt.

After the turn (fourth community card) is dealt.

After the river (fifth community card) is dealt.

The standard hand rankings apply in Omaha. A set (three of a kind) beats two pairs, for example, and a full house (a set and a pair) beats a straight.
Excerpt:

Excerpt:


Your hole cards:
A-K-Q-J

The board cards:
Q-T-9-4-2

This might appear to be an Ace-high straight, but that is incorrect. To make an Ace-to-ten straight, you would have to use the Ace, King and Jack in your hand. This is not possible in Omaha.

However, you do have a King-high straight. Use the King and Jack from your hand and the Queen, ten and nine from the board to make this hand.
Excerpt:

Once you’ve mastered the basics of Omaha, you can start working on some advanced skills. These will help you collect more chips over the long term, which is always a plus as far as serious poker players are concerned. Learning how to read the board, put other players on specific hands and read their tells all make you a better player – regardless of which poker game you’re playing.
