Omaha And Hold Em Poker
The two big differences between Hold'em and Omaha are, first, that in Omaha you receive four facedown (or "hole") cards, instead of two and, second, that in Omaha you must use two and exactly two of the four cards in your hand, along with three and exactly three of the five board (community) cards. This distinction makes switching from Hold'em to Omaha very difficult for some players, because in Hold'em you're allowed to use one, both, or neither of your hole cards in putting together your final hand.
For example, in Hold'em, if there is a flush or a straight on the board, your hand is a flush or a straight, even if your hole cards don't contribute to it in any way. Of course, it's possible for your hole cards to improve a flush or straight that is on the board: if the board shows 7-8-9-10-J, and you have a queen in your hand, then you have a queen-high straight. Or perhaps the board will be [3-(51 "El "H "El» and the 19 in y°ur hand makes you the best possible hand. Often a Hold'em board will come down 7-8-9-10-J, and all the active players in the hand end up splitting the pot because they all end up playing the board (no active player has a queen).
But in Omaha, that 7-8-9-10-J board does not give you a straight unless two of the four cards in your hand allow you to complete a straight. For example, if your hand is A-A-9-10, the 9-10 that looked so insignificant to you when you started the hand, compared with your fine pair of aces, now gives you the straight. Similarly, you can play the jack-high straight if you hold 7-J-X-X (7-J from your hand and 8-9-10 from the board) or 8-J-X-X (8-J from your hand and 7-9-10 from the board) or any other combination of 7 through J in your hand. With a board of 7-8-9-10-J, you would have a queen-high straight with 8-Q (8-Q from your hand and 9-10-J from the board) or 9-Q or 10-Q or J-Q as part of your four starting ("hole") cards. You would need exactly a Q-K as part of your four-card hand to make a king-high straight.
