Introduction

What is Omaha Poker?

To start simple, Omaha Poker is a card game. It is often referred to as Omaha Holdem and more commonly as just Omaha. It uses a standard deck of cards. Players are dealt four cards which are hidden from the other players. There are rounds of betting, and five additional cards are dealt face-up in the center of the table. These five cards are community cards and can be used by any of the players. Players aim to make the best five-card hand possible by combining two of their face-down cards with three of the face-up community cards. The game features variations on the betting system and players aim to win more money than their opponents.

History of Omaha

Poker has been around for a long time. Omaha has not been around for as long, in fact, it only dates back to 1982. The name, Omaha, may suggest that it was named after the city, but the game does not originate there, nor is it influenced by the city. The only thing the game shares with the city is its name.

Omaha was first played in Las Vegas, Nevada. Previous to this there were variations of the game played elsewhere, but the game we know now was first played in the land of the casinos. Texas Holdem is the most popular poker game played around the world, but Omaha is not too far behind. The popularity of the game continues to grow across the world today, both in-person and online.

How To Play Omaha

Getting Started

For this guide, we will be talking about pot-limit Omaha. This betting variation is the most popular of all the Omaha games. We will talk about other betting variations after we have talked about the mechanics of the game.

Omaha is a community-card game. This means that it is played by more than one player. Two players can play, but the game really comes alive when you have more players. If you can get a large group of players together, then you can have tournaments too. With one deck and one table, the maximum number of players is ten. If you have more than ten players, then you will need to organize multiple decks and tables, but tournaments are outside the scope of this book.

So what do you need to play? Firstly, you need a standard deck of fifty-two cards. In regular Omaha, the cards are ranked from 2 (low) to ace (high). You will also need some friends. Up to ten people can play, but if you have an extra person, they can be the dealer (as is standard in casinos). If you do not have an extra person to deal the cards, then the deal will alternate between the players.

You will also need a playing surface. For a small number of players a regular sized table will be fine, but as the number of players grows, so will the size of the playing surface. Omaha is regularly played for money, but that money

i loved the in and outs of this book as much as i enjoy beating the odds on the tables. Great and informative read and selection of the topic. Overall, this is a great guide to study and a great gift; or if you just want to enjoy for personal usage; with textbook solutions, the author prances around the idea that you can learn a new trick or two, while still earning money, and making money playing Omaha. Competition, bluffing, styles of the game of Omaha and various topics are covered in this title.
