confusing

[ratman349]

i had 4 queens i went alll in but it said i had a pair of queens i dont understand 3 queens in my hand 1 on board

[Tigger]

Were you playing Omaha? You only get to use 2 cards from your hand, 3 from those dealt on the table

[ratman349]

o that explains thank you

[gypsywoman]

I understand ratman. I've done the same thing several times. I finally get it.

[jblough69]

Not only do you "get" to use 2 from your hand, but you MUST use 2 from your hand.

[pappy747]

It does take a bit of getting used Omaha. But once you remember that you MUST only use 2 of your cards & only 3 on the board then it is a truly mad betting frenzy where several different hands may be achievable until the river is dealt.
Good luck.

im beginning to like the ohama.. it makes me use my mind for more possible combinations with my cards.. the more possible combinations the more chances of winning! but it applies to all the playres thou
quite a good game..

[gregohard]

omaha is the best i can get tons of cash and spend it at the same time

[jayccin]

omaha hi lo is a tuff game to play

[firecutting]

I think it is very tricky to learn

[faceless]

yea omaha is quite confusin, funny name (omaha) Wondering where did it originate form.

[Pocket_Ducks]

omaha is a good game once u kno it, but its unfortunate that evry game i go on there is an all-in almost EVERY HAND!

People go crazy with omaha! pre-flop hands are over valued so often it is unreal. Many times i've been forced to fold hands which involve good suited cards, aces, middle pairs, because in the short run it is easy to lose with these hands... but very few people see this, which is a shame.

I've gone off playing omaha online because of this reason, it's too crazy for me lol. Good luck to all those who play it, and even more luck to those who have patience for it lol

I would think that the game originated from the state OMAHA? A little like TEXAS hold-em, dontchya think? lol

[josh84]

If Its Omaha You Can Only Use 2 Cards In Your Hand You Should Have Had 3 Of Kind If Flop Delt One

Now I love the game it can be a challenge but it is fun .................!!

[jayccin]

confusing says dont eat yellow snow

[Ace_Queen]

I love omaha too.....but is confusing game....can be fun too tho .......

[tattmando]

i also had the same problems....loosing hands w/sets or quads pocket, till i read the rules...guess i should have done that first lol.. now that i've played the game more, i've figured out that it's just like the instructions say....the hand does'nt really come into play till the nuts,unless you get a killerflop...gl personally i think i'll stick to texas hold'em poker
