Omaha Hold'em Rules

If you are a Texas Holdem fan and have played Texas Holdem before, or if you just read the Texas Holdem Rules article, then Omaha Holdem should be quite easy for you to start, as Omaha Holdem is quite similiar to Texas Holdem. Both are community games, played with a combination of community and personal cards. The main differences between the two games are as follows:

  1.  In Omaha Holdem 4 personal cards, and 5 community cards are dealt instead of two personal and 5 community in Texas Holdem
  2.  In Omaha Holdem the players’ 5 cards hand must include 2 personal cards and 3 community cards, while in Texas Holdem the players can use any combination of personal or community cards.
  3. Omaha Holdem can be played using blinds, like Texas Holdem or antes, like the  7 Cards Stud game.
