Another type of poker that you may have heard about is Omaha Hi. This game is not as well known as Texas Hold’em but is still one of the regularly played games. Again, two to ten players can play the game. Here, you have four rounds of betting.
You can also play Omaha Hi Lo which is another version of this game. The rules are the same as Omaha Hi but each player creates the highest and/or the lowest valued qualifying hand using his cards and the community cards.
The main differences in the Omaha Hi game and standard or Texas Hold’em Poker include having four private cards along with five community cards. Here are some of the rules to the game.
- Each player is dealt two additional cards, (a total of four) private cards at the beginning of play.
- When the showdown happens, you must use only two of your private cards along with three of the community cards on the table, no more, no less.
These are the only two differences between Omaha Hi and Texas Hold’em!
The main rule differences between Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi Lo include these rules:
- The pot is split between the person that has the highest hand and the person that has the lowest hand.
- For you to have a qualifying low hand there can not be any cards above the 8 in your hand.
Omaha Hi is an easy game to play. Go ahead and get started!
