Omaha Poker Game

Omaha poker follows the same rules as Texas Hold'em poker, but with two exceptions

Players are dealt four "pocket" cards instead of two.
Players must use two "pocket" cards and three "community" cards to make their best high hand.

The principle is the same, but the two differences in the rules demand a very different strategy for playing Omaha Poker.

Ring Game Rake Structure

The house commissions between 0% and 5% of each total pot. We do not charge a rake if the hand ended before the "flop" cards were dealt - "No flop no drop."

The following are the fixed limits for the rake:
