It is often said that Omaha is a game of "the nuts", i.e. the best
possible high or low hand, because it frequently takes "the nuts" to win
a showdown. It is also a game where between the cards in his hand and
the community cards a player may have drawing possibilities to multiple
different types of holdings. For example, a player may have both a draw
to a flush and a full house using different combinations of cards. At
times, the players themselves have trouble figuring out what draws and
possibilities their cards hold.
The basic differences between Omaha and Texas hold 'em are these: first,
each player is dealt four cards to his private hand instead of two. The
betting rounds and layout of community cards are identical. At showdown,
each player's hand is the best five-card hand he can make from exactly
three of the five cards on the board, plus exactly two of his own cards.
Unlike Texas hold 'em, a player cannot play four or five of the cards on
the board with fewer than two of his own.
Some specific things to notice about Omaha hands are:
* As in Texas hold 'em, three or more suited cards on the board makes a
flush possible, but unlike that game a player always needs two of that
suit in his hand to play a flush. For example, with a board of K♠ 9♠ Q♠
Q♥ 5♠, a player with A♠ 2♥ 4♥ 5♣ cannot play a flush using his ace as he
could in Texas hold 'em; he must play two cards from his hand and only
three from the board. A player with 2♠ 3♠ K♦ J♦ can play the spade flush.
