What the game is

Omaha gives each player four private cards. Players must use exactly two private cards and exactly three board cards.

Rules of Omaha

  • Each player starts with four private cards, also called hole cards.
  • Five community cards can be dealt like Hold'em, but Omaha hand construction is stricter.
  • For every final hand, Omaha requires exactly two private cards and exactly three community cards. You cannot use one, three, or four private cards.
  • The best five-card high hand wins the pot.

Example calculations

  • Enter A♠ A♥ K♠ Q♥ against J♠ T♠ 9♥ 8♥ on Q♠ 7♦ 2♣ to compare top set, redraws, and wrap pressure.
  • Enter a wrap draw and a made set on the flop to see how many turn and river cards matter.
  • Use dead cards to model exposed blockers in live-game study.

Strategy examples

  • Omaha equities run closer than Hold'em, so compare strong-looking hands before overvaluing them.
  • Study blockers because having key suits or straight cards can change draw value.
  • Use board-specific calculations to separate nut draws from dominated draws.
