Omaha is a Holdem game like Texas Holdem, but very different since every player is dealt four closed cards preflop! Every player will have to use exactly two of these card, and three of the open community cards to create their poker hand. With this being a hi/lo game, the best hand will sometimes have to split the pot with a qualifying low hand - meaning five non-connecting cards from 2-8. The low nut hand is 2,3,4,5,7, since 2,3,4,5,6 hand would be a straight. The lowest hand wins half the pot if several players have a qualifying low hand.

The Game

1. The player left of the dealer places a small blind, and the player to the left of the small blind places a big blind which is double the amount of the small blind.
2. All players recieve four closed cards each, and the first bettinground is commenced by the player left of the big blind who shall fold, call(same amount as the big blind) or raise.
3. Three community cards - the flop - is layed on the table, and the 2nd bettinground is now initiated by the player closest to the dealers left, who will also start the 3rd and 4th bettinground.
4. The 4th community card - the turn - is dealt, and the 3rd bettinground is commenced.
5. The 5th and last community card - the river - is dealt, and the last bettinground commenced. When the last bet has been called, there´s a Showdown where the best hand wins thew whole pot - or the half only, should a player have a qualifying low hand(and he doesn't have a lower). Should two or more players have the same hand, they will split the pot. If there was a bet on the river, the player making the last bet or raise will have to show up first. If no bet on river, the player closest to the dealers left side will have to show first.
