    Omaha Poker

    comparable to Omaha Hi/Lo Poker and Texas Hold’em, Omaha, required its two to ten players to create the best five-card combination from a total of nine cards.The pot is won by the strongest combination . Because the nine cards are made up of four hand cards and five community cards , the resulting combinations are stronger than those in other Poker Games.

    How to play the game

    The game begins with the players from the left of the dealer by posting the blinds . The player on the Dealer’s left posts a small blind and the player on the Small Blind’s left places a big blind. Each player receives four pocket cards .  In the first round, the player to the Big Blind’s left plays first and can either Fold/ Bet/ Raise.The flop is dealt in the second round then  a round of betting follows and the players can either Check/ Fold/ Call/ Raise. In the third round, the Turn is dealt . Another betting round follows . The final round of betting begins after the River is dealt . After the betting ends, the remaining players, can use 2 out of their 4 pocket cards and any 3 community cards out of the five from the table to create the strongest 5-cards possible hand

    Tips:
    You can use the following strategies to improve your winning chances :

    1. Watch out for the low cards, you are looking for a high hand only ;
    2. Flushes and straights are very common here due to the five community cards that you can select  .

    Omaha Hi/Lo Poker

    Omaha High/Low is a popular interpretation of Omaha Poker, is also known as Omaha/8.The lowest hand and the highest hand split in halp the pot in this game . The low hand must contain an 8 or better, and pairs.. For these two hands you can use different cards , and it is possible to win both the high and the low  pot. If there is no qualifying low hand, then the high hand wins the entirely pot. As in Omaha, you must use two cards from your hand and three cards from the community cards, but you can use a different two cards for your high and low hands.
