Game Rules - Omaha High


SHOWDOWN
Once all betting is complete, players determine the best five-card hand that they can make from two of their four pocket cards and three of the five community cards. Four of these cards will be in their own possession and dealt as down cards, and five will be face up as community cards to be shared by all players. Therefore, if a player is dealt four kings down, only two of the kings count toward the final hand. The remaining three cards must come from the community cards. The player with the best five-card poker hand wins the pot. Should multiple hands tie, the pot is split with any odd amount going to the player immediately to the left of the dealer. As in Texas Hold'em a button is used to indicate the dealer's position. The "button" is moved clockwise around the table so that every player can benefit from the advantage of being last to act once per round. Like Hold'em, position is an important advantage with the player on the button being in the best position possible.

START AGAIN
After a hand is completed and the pot taken by the winner, the dealer button is moved one player to the left and the next hand begins.
