A Sample Poker Hand Of Omaha Part2
Bob likes this flop a lot, because he has the "nut" (best possible) flush draw. If another diamond comes up on the turn or the river, he will make a strong hand, and, though he can't know it, he is likely to collect a number of bets from Andy, whose second-nut flush would wind up costing him a lot of money. But that's not all. Bob also has a pair of aces and an inside straight draw (often called a "gutshot" straight draw); if a jack hits the board, Bob's queen and ten will give him an 8-9-10-J-Q straight.
Chuck: (2_0~[2~[-3- This was a pretty nice starting hand, with four connected high cards and two possibilities for a flush, and Chuck has hit a monster draw: his [Vl'S gives him not merely a flush draw but also an open-ended straight-flush draw: if either [5 or 0 hits the board, Chuck is going to make a lot of money, especially from Bob, who is going to think his ace-high flush is "the nuts" until roughly the moment when Chuck reraises him for the third time. Chuck also has an open-ended straight draw—any queen or seven will give him a straight. (Unless he can make the straight flush, he'll be much better off making a straight than a flush, because his jack-high flush would lose to two other players.) Chuck also has a pair of aces with a king kicker, which at the moment is the best hand, but there is a low probability that this will win the hand, because, if he makes two pairs—aces up—then someone else will make a stronger hand. If 0 (the only king left) hits the board, Chuck will have aces and kings, but the same king will give Andy three kings. If a jack hits the board, Bob makes a straight. If a ten hits the board, Hal makes a straight. Chuck would need two perfect cards in a row for his ace to be useful: the last two aces in the deck would give Chuck three aces, which would win if no one makes a straight or a flush. So he has plenty to think about, and he doesn't know what's out there facing him.
Hal: |3-|51"H"[S- Hal has "hit the n°P" Iust wel1 enough to get into trouble. He has a pair of nines, but—more important—he has an open-ended straight draw by using his ten, jack, and queen. A seven, a ten, a jack, or a queen will give Hal a straight.
If it seems as though there are a lot of possible ways for each player to win (or lose) out there, you're right. Welcome to Omaha.
Because everyone still in the hand has a "piece" of this flop (meaning it has either improved all four of them or given them all at least some reasonable drawing possibility or other), even though those pieces are all draws rather than made hands, the betting action is likely to be anywhere from very cautious to very aggressive, depending on the playing styles of the people in the game.

A Sample Poker Hand Of Omaha
Let's now take a look at how a sample hand of Omaha might proceed. Even though a beginner should not play in a high-stakes game, let's make the example more fun by assuming we're playing $30- $60-limit Omaha: eight people are at the table, listed here in clockwise order:
Andy is sitting to the left of the button and thus must post the $15 small blind.
Bob is sitting on Andy's left, so he posts the $30 big blind.
Chuck, Dave, Ed, Frank, and George come next and will act in that order.
Hal is the final player at the table, and he holds the button for this hand.
Four cards are dealt out to each of the eight players, the first card going to Andy in the small blind, the last card dealt to Hal on the button (the cards are dealt one at a time). Chuck, the first to take action, looks at his cards, sees that he has a strong starting hand, (2"0"0"K> and decides to raise the existing bet ($30) to $60. (In poker slang this would often be called "making it $60 to go.")
Dave, Ed, Frank, and George all decide to fold, but Hal, who has H-H-0-B> decides to call the $60 on the button. (Calling a raised pot, without having yet made any investment in it, is often referred to as "calling two bets cold.") Andy, who already has $15 in the pot because he posted the small blind, holds 0"H"[3"H and Puts in $45 more to cal1 the $60- Bob' who has already invested $30 in the big blind, and holds LQ-H, also calls the $60 by putting in $30 more. (By the way, I'm going to withhold, until the chapter on strategy, all comment about whether or not these raising and calling decisions, as well as the ones that follow, are good decisions.)
With four players still in the hand, the dealer turns up a flop of 0-0 "[!*]• Let's take another look at the players' hands and see how they fit this flop.
Andy: [3~H ~H"S • His Pair oi kin§s' which were never much of a threat to win a four-way pot without improving, are now almost certainly losing to someone who has an ace in his hand, although because Andy can't see the other player's cards, he can't be sure about this. Still, Andy retains some interest in the hand, because he has the [V] and (0 in his hand and two diamonds have flopped. This gives him a chance to make the second-best possible flush (called the "second-nut" flush).
