5 Card Omaha is an exciting game derived from Omaha. It differs from classic Omaha in the fact that players are dealt not 4 but 5 hole cards, and any 2 pocket cards and 3 cards from the board are involved in making combinations.
How to play 5 Card Omaha?
The gameplay is identical to the classic Omaha. Two players post the small and big blinds (positions shift clockwise in each subsequent hand), and all players sitting at the table receive five pocket cards.
The first round of betting begins on pre-flop. If a player wishes to continue their participation in hand, they must either call the big blind or raise. If not, then they fold. Betting continues until all players who want to see the flop have made the same bet into the pot. Then on the flop, three community cards are dealt, which are available for making the best combination for all players remaining in hand. Another round of trading is underway. The 4th community card is dealt on the turn. Players can raise and equalize bets again. The 5th community card is the river, where players can finally determine their best hand available. The last round of trading is underway. If, after it, several active players still exist in the game, a showdown occurs. The player with the best 5-card combination wins the hand. If several players have collected equal combinations, the pot is distributed equally between them.
