	Omaha hold 'em - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Omaha hold 'em (or Omaha holdem or simply Omaha) is a community card poker game ("flop game") similar to Texas hold 'em, where each player is dealt four cards and must make his best hand using exactly two of them, plus exactly three of the five community cards.
		Omaha Hi/Lo In high-low split, each player, using these rules, thus makes a separate five-card high hand and five-card ace-to-five low hand (eight-high or lower to qualify), and the pot is split between the high and low (which may be the same player).
		Unlike Texas hold 'em, a player cannot play only one of his cards with four of the board, nor can he play the board, nor play three from his hand and two from the board, or any other combination.

	Omaha Hold'em Rules
		Omaha is a fun variation of poker that is played similarly to Texas Hold'em, though it involves each player getting 4 hole cards instead of 2, so the average hands tend to be higher.
		In Omaha, the player is required to make their best hand from 2 of their 4 hole cards and 3 of the 5 community cards from the table.
		This differs from Texas Hold'em in which you can play any combination of cards, including all 5 community cards, and is the most common mistake new players make while adjusting to the different rules.

	Comparing Texas Holdem versus Omaha Hold'em
		Omaha tournaments are still peopled with very weak Omaha players, but the sheer number of Holdem tournaments and the larger amount of people playing Holdem events offsets that.
		Texas Holdem is generally considered "Holdem", while Omaha Holdem is merely "Omaha." Birthed of the same mother structure, Omaha and Holdem have similarities, but like siblings they also have dramatic differences when it comes to winning strategy.
		While 76s can sometimes become playable in Holdem, 9764 is never playable in Omaha High Low (outside of maybe putting in one more chip in a two chip small blind) regardless of how lousy your opponents are.

	Omaha HiLo Myths - Omaha Holdem High Low Poker
		Omaha is usually a simple game: play hands before the flop that can easily make a straightforward nut hand, and play hands after the flop where you are getting correct odds on making the nut hand.
		A very common sight in online Omaha games is to see terrible players raising on a flop of AJ8 with their naked 23 draws, and then freezing up like a deer in the headlights when they make their hand on the turn or river.
		This companion to the Introduction to Omaha Poker Strategy is needed because something about Omaha HiLo seems to lead to the true nature of the game being concealed beneath a shroud of fantasies.

		In Omaha, the first and foremost rule is to look for four cards that are closely related to each other -- king (spades) -- queen (diamonds) -- jack (spades) -- 10 (diamonds), for example, where every card works with another, with many possible outcomes.
		You can practice Omaha easily by dealing four cards down (and immediately evaluating it) and three cards up and then evaluating your hand in relation to the upcards.
		This is especially important to file away in your memory bank because so few people really understand how to play their first four cards and tend to play to the flop regardless of how good or bad the hand.

		However, it is seldom at limit Omaha that you can win a pot by any method than holding the highest-ranking hand at the showdown.

		The ideal Omaha hand is the multiway hand, which combines a made hand and a drawing hand.
