Take the Omaha Online Poker Challenge Today

For anyone who has ever enjoyed poker particularly the holdem varieties Omaha online poker is the game to be played. Omaha online poker is one of the most popular poker holdem games around and is especially good for any poker player who sees him or herself as slightly more advanced and in need of a bit of a challenge. For the players who have played holdem games, learning the game will not prove to be too difficult at all.

The main thing Omaha online poker players have to learn ahead of time in this poker game is the way the betting works and the rules of the game. players should be aware that unlike with other holdem games, with Omaha online poker, each player gets an initial 4 cards dealt to him or her (face down), as opposed to 2. There are the same 5 community cards as in holdem, but players have double the cards initially to try to form their winning hand.

There is another difference though, when trying to form the winning hand. With holdem, players can select any of their 2 cards with the 5 community cards to form a winning hand. With Omaha online poker, to try to achieve that winning 5 card combination, both hole cards MUST be used. There is no option of just using one. This means that more calculations on the part of the poker player are needed, but also more adrenalin pumping and fun goes on in the game!
