Omaha poker is a popular variation of poker that's similar to Texas Hold'em but with a few key differences. In Omaha, each player is dealt four private cards (known as hole cards) instead of two. Players must use exactly two of their hole cards in combination with three of the five community cards to make the best possible five-card hand.
Here are the basic rules:
1. **Dealing**: Each player receives four hole cards.
2. **Betting Rounds**: There are four rounds of betting - Pre-flop, Flop, Turn, and River.
3. **Community Cards**: Five community cards are dealt face-up on the table.
4. **Hand Formation**: Players must use exactly two of their hole cards and three of the community cards to form their hand.
5. **Showdown**: After the final betting round, players reveal their hands, and the best five-card hand wins the pot.
Different variations include Omaha Hi (where the highest hand wins the entire pot) and Omaha Hi-Lo (where the pot is split between the highest and lowest qualifying hands).
