Could someone please explain Omaha to me?
Surely.
What you do is get four cards. Doesn't matter much what they are because nobody really looks at them anyway. Next, they put three cards on the board. It doesn't matter what they are because nobody really pays any attention to the flop either. Then one more card for the turn and another one for the river. Same betting scenario as before. Doesn't really matter much what they are, except, for a few of the players that may have "cheated" and looked at their hole cards. These players may now fold if they have absolutely no outs. (Mostly bad sports.) Now, at the showdown, everybody turns over their cards and helps the dealer figure out who has the best hand. You MUST play two cards out of your hand so this usually takes a while and and the winning hand is usually found out after a little bit of searching by all of the players and a partially confused dealer. The dealer now pushes the pot to the wrong player and everybody yells at him and he smiles glibly and says, "Oh yeah,,,sorry" and then sends it in the right direction. Then, after all of that excitement dies down, everybody lets out a collective sigh of relief and gets ready to wind up and do it all over again. Fun game.

Like it Jerry - i played omaha on the NL10 ring table. The first player to act immediately raised to 200 and everyone follows as pre-flop it seems very difficult to know your hand strength. Same after flop and same after turn. Odd player leaves the hand and then after the river you just cross your fingers and pray that the dealer "selects" you as the winner lol - seemed all a bit mad to me

I am not the one who moved it. In my opinion, it should be in both sections, as this sounds like a very accurate explanation of the game. Well done Jerry
