Omaha
Hold'em?
Omaha Hold'em is similar to Texas Hold'em at first glance. In Omaha Hold'em,
each player gets 4 cards down and shares 5 community cards dealt up in
the center of the table (3, then 1, then 1). The Parlay version is called
Omaha Hold'em? because you have three chances to either
hold your 4 "hole cards" or exchange one card for a new one.
Omaha Hold'em? is perhaps the most challenging of the
games included in the instructions because there's a wicked twist. In
Omaha you MUST use 2 and ONLY 2 of any of the 4 cards in your hand to
make your word, and 2 and ONLY 2 of the 4 cards in your hand to make your
poker hand. They don't have to be the same 2 cards.
This means if you are dealt 3 aces in your hand, you can only use 2 of
them to make your poker hand. The same is true of your word.
