The player can use any combination of two hole cards and three board cards for the high hand and another (or the same) combination of two hole. Omaha is a bit trickier. You must use 2 of your hole cards when forming your best possible hand. If all hearts are showing on the board, and you are holding an ace of hearts and a king of diamonds, you would have a flush in Texas Hold’em. When playing Omaha, you would simply be holding an ace high hand, since both cards must be used.

5 Card Omaha is one of the rarer poker variants out there. Typically it is only played as part of mixed game rotations and very few online poker sites offer the game. The game is virtually identical to traditional four card Omaha (PLO), but with the obvious difference that each player receives 5 hole cards.
This has quite a large impact on how hands play out. When playing standard four card Omaha, you need to use exactly two of your hole cards to make your hand, so you can think of yourself as holding 6 combinations of Hold’em hands. This has the effect of making the average winning Omaha hand much stronger than the average Hold ’em hand. Now if we extend that line of thinking to Five Card Omaha, you now hold 10 combinations of Holdem hands, so as you can imagine the winning hand at showdown in 5 Card Omaha is typically very strong.
As with four card Omaha, the game is typically player with a pot limit betting structure, where the maximum bet or raise allowed is the current size of the pot.How to Play a 5 Card Omaha Hand
5 Card Omaha is very similar in structure to No Limit Holdem and Pot Limit Omaha. The hand begins with the two players to the dealer placing blind bets before the cards are dealt. The player immediately to the dealer’s left place the ‘small blind’ and the player to his left places the ‘big blind’ which is typically twice the small blind. Each player is then dealt 5 cards face down, one at a time, starting with the small blind.
The action then begins with the player to the left of the big blind who may call the amount of the big blind, raise or fold. Action continues around the table in a clockwise direction until all players have acted and all raises have been matched by at least one player. If a raise goes uncalled, the raising player wins the pot. If there is no raise by the time the action reaches the big blind, he may check and the hand moves onto the next round. After betting is complete, the dealer places three cards face up on the table as with Holdem and PLO. These cards, known as the flop may be used by all remaining players to make their best hand.How Do You Play Omaha Hi-lo
After the flop is dealt, there is a round of betting which begins with the small blind who may bet or check, passing the action along to the next player. All players can check as long as they’re not facing a bet.
When the flop betting round is complete and two or more players are still in the hand, we move onto the turn.On the turn, the dealer places another card face up on the table which can be used by all players. There is another round of betting after the turn which follows the same pattern as the flop betting round, with all bets and raises limited to the size of the pot.
After the turn betting is complete, the dealer places a final card face up on the table, known as the river. There is then a final betting round. If the last bet is called on the river or all players check, the hand goes to a showdown, where players must turn over their hole cards to claim the pot. The pot is awarded to the player with the best five card poker hand using the standard rankings, but they must use exactly two of their five hole cards and three of the five community cards to make their hand.
The high-low split pot version of Omaha is a fun and exciting game, which we will refer to as Omaha/8. It is typically played as a fixed-limit game, but the pot-limit variety (known by the abbreviation PLO/8) is also popular, particularly online. The format, betting structure, and requirement to use two cards from your initial four hole cards, in conjunction with three cards from the board, is all the same as Omaha high but coupled with the addition of the best high and best low hands splitting the pot.
In our lesson on how to play Omaha we outlined that one major difference between Omaha and hold’em was the number of potential hands vying for the pot. In Omaha/8 that number remains constant as each hand still has six possibilities but now some of them are vying for the low end and others for the high. What this translates to is an action packed game with numerous bets and raises and large pots.Omaha/8 Showdown Rules
Omaha/8 is a split pot game, which means that unless someone scoops the pot it will be split. There are two ways to scoop the entire pot. The first is to have both the best high and low hands. The other way is to possess the best high hand when no hand qualifies for the low.The High Hand
The high hand in Omaha/8 is the identical to a winning hand in Omaha high. If there is no qualified low hand then the best high hand will win the pot.Qualifying Low Hand
The rules for a qualifying low hand are as follows:
*Players may use any five cards in their hand for the low
*A low hand is five unpaired cards, no higher than an eight
*Aces are low for the low hand (and high for the high hand)
*Flushes and straights do not negatively impact the low handRanking Low HandsHow Do You Play Omaha
Low hands in Omaha/8 are ranked ‘top down’, from the highest card in the hand. For example is lower than . This is an example of a “7 low” versus an “8 low”.
If the highest card is equal in rank then the next highest card is used to determined the lowest hand. This means that is lower than because the second highest card among the five is lower. If the second highest card was the same then it would go to the third, fourth, and fifth card respectively. If players share the same low cards then the low half of the pot is split.
The best possible low hand in Omaha/8 is A-2-3-4-5, known as a ‘wheel’. Remember that low hands that are straights and flushes do not disqualify it from being low but, in fact, make it a two way hand and a candidate to scoop. While a Royal flush and a five high straight, called a wheel, would represent the best high and best low hands, the hand you really want at the showdown is a five high straight flush to scoop the pot with the best high and low hands.Omaha/8 Hand Examples
The basic rules are the same as Omaha high, in that you must use two of your hole cards with three on the board.
In the above example a low hand is not possible because the board doesn’t contain three cards that are eight or lower. Only the best high hand will win. The nuts for this board would be someone holding Jack-Queen for the straight. With (which is an excellent starting hand in Omaha/8) you would use along with the on the board to make a high-hand of one pair.
Here is a hand that would qualify for both the high and the low:
In the above example the board contains three card no higher than an eight; the . The hole cards in this example are very strong. In Omaha/8 you can use any two of your cards for the low and any two for the high-hand. The can be used for the nut high hand (flush) and can be used for the nut low ( A-2-3-7-8). This is a prime candidate for scooping the pot.How Is Omaha Poker Played
If you’re unsure how to work out low hands, which can be confusing at first, then don’t worry. The key is to count backwards from the highest low card first. As mentioned, the best low hand is A-2-3-4-5 which is a five-low hand, which when counting backwards would obviously be 5-4-3-2-A. The next best low hand would be a six-low of 6-4-3-2-A, followed by 6-5-3-2-A, then 6-5-4-2-A, then 6-5-4-3-A and so on. The highest card is counted first and if there’s a tie the next highest low card is counted.
The split pot rule makes it a very different game to Omaha-high. But it’s important to stress that Omaha/8 is not a game of splits. Whilst the best high hand will win half the pot and the best low hand will win the other half; scooping the entire pot is the true object of this poker game.Omaha Rules
This game seems to have polarized poker fans in so far as they either love it or have a disdain for it. I like to call those who love it Omaholics and you should be careful, for if you are just getting started in this addictive form of poker, you may well join their ranks.Related Lessons
