In Omaha, each player is dealt four private cards at the beginning of the hand, unlike Texas Hold’em where players receive only two. These four cards are hidden from opponents and are combined with community cards to create the best five-card hand. Players must use exactly two of their four hole cards along with three community cards to form a hand.
Four Hole Cards Example
For example, in Omaha, if you are dealt four hole cards such as 5♠, 6♦, K♣, and A♥, you might use the K♣ and A♥ with three shared community cards to create a strong hand.
