What the game is

5-Card Omaha gives each player five private cards and uses exactly two of them with three board cards.

Rules of 5-Card Omaha

  • Each player starts with five private cards, also called hole cards.
  • Five shared community cards can be dealt like Hold'em.
  • Even with five private cards, the final hand must use exactly two private cards and exactly three community cards.
  • The best five-card high hand wins the pot.

Example calculations

  • Enter A♠ A♥ K♠ Q♥ J♦ against T♠ 9♠ 8♥ 7♥ 6♣ on Q♠ J♣ 4♦ to compare overpair strength against dense wrap draws.
  • Study huge wrap draws against made hands on connected boards.
  • Add dead cards to evaluate blocker-heavy river decisions.

Strategy examples

  • Equity runs even closer in five-card Omaha than in four-card Omaha.
  • Use the calculator to separate nut potential from dominated draws.
  • Measure how blockers affect strong combo draws.
