While many players get their start in online poker playing Texas hold’em, online Omaha is another great way to get your virtual poker feet wet. Omaha has many of the elements of Texas hold’em, but some additional challenges as well.
Playing Omaha
In Omaha, each player gets four cards and must make his best five card hand using exactly two of the four cards plus three and only three of five community cards that go in the middle. Players who are not coming to the game from Texas hold’em may have a slight advantage here, as hold’em players are used to being able to use four or even all five cards on the board to make their hand.
