Omaha
Omaha is very similar to Texas Hold'em with one game changing factor. Instead of two hole cards, each player is dealt four hole cards. In Omaha, players must make the best possible hand with a combination of two from their hole cards and three from the community cards.
Pot Limit
In Pot Limit Omaha (most popular form of Omaha Poker), the maximum a player can bet is the amount that is in the pot. For example, a $100 bet into a $100 pot.
Positions
The following are positions that you should know before playing the game.
Big blind
The player on the left of the small blind. The big blind is the same as the minimum bet size.
Small blind
The player immediately left of the dealer has to post the small blind.
Dealer
Each hand has one designated dealer. The dealer position determines the small and big blind positions. The dealer button is passed clockwise after every hand.
