Texas Holdem The player who has not folded his cards can win the pot, the winner is determined by the best poker hand.

In Texas Holdem, the players share the community cards. The players use their hole cards together with the community cards to make their poker hand. A player can only make a poker hand that has five cards in it. You may use both hole cards, one hole card or no hole card at all, in order to see which poker hand you have. If you aren’t using any cards at all, you are playing with the community cards only.

Omaha Omaha poker rules are based on Texas Holdem with these main differences:

Players are dealt four pocket cards. Player MUST use two pocket cards and three community cards to make the best possible poker hand. There can be a maximum of 10 players. Each player is dealt four cards face down (the pocket cards). Then the first betting round begins. Rounds are the same as in Texas Holdem:

Pre Flop - Four cards are dealt to every player face down, starting with the small blind. The Flop - the dealer lays out the first three community cards in the center of the table. The Turn - A fourth card is dealt face up in the middle of the table. The River - A fifth and final card is dealt face up in the middle of the table. The player with the best 5-card hand wins.

Note: you cannot Play the Board as two cards have to come from your hand. For example, the Board is 10 J Q K A. And your hand is 4 4 A 5, this means your final hand is: A A K Q 5

This is the important part: "Player MUST use two pocket cards "

say you got AAAA in pocket… thets a bad, very bad hand in omaha.Two of thet AA instantly out of the game, you most likely end up a single pair at the river

lol sweet i just came in 9th in a tournament and did not know about having to us 2 cards from my have and 3 from the table.
