Similar to Texas Holdem, Omaha is a community card game, where players must make their best hand combination from the five community and four hole cards available. The difference here is that players are limited to using only three community cards and two hole cards. Omaha is generally played as Pot Limit, but No Limit can be found both live and online. Omaha is rapidly gaining popularity as experienced Texas Holdem poker players seek new and exciting variations.
