Omaha Poker: Here's Where You Get Four Hole Cards Instead of Two

Jika Anda seorang pemain poker, Anda pasti tahu bahwa Texas Holdem adalah pilihan nomor satu bagi para pemain di turnamen ruang poker dan permainan uang. Gim ini sangat populer sehingga bahkan  James Bond  lebih menyukainya daripada gim Baccarat yang disukai dalam pembuatan ulang film tahun 1967, Kasino Royal. .   

Permainan Omaha Poker yang kurang dikenal juga ditawarkan di sebagian besar kamar poker utama. Satu versi disebut Pot Limit Omaha. Ada dua perbedaan utama antara Pot Limit dan No limit Holde m:           

· Players are dealt four hole cards instead of two

· Players may only raise to the size of the pot

All the other action is the same. There are five community up cards dealt by the house dealer between betting rounds: three called the flop, one called the turn and one more called the river.

Before play, the dealer places a white disc called the button in front of the player immediately to her left. The button represents a theoretical dealer and holds an advantage for the player because he is the last to act during a hand. The button moves one player to the left after each round.

The first player to the left of the button is called the small blind. The player to the left of the small blind is the big blind. Both players must put a pre-determined amount of money in the pot before any cards are dealt. The blinds also move one position to the left after each round. Their purpose is to incite action by ensuring an ample amount of money in the pot prior to play. The amounts increase after preset timed periods. Four cards are dealt clockwise face down to each player. The first player to the left of the big blind is under the gun and starts the action with one of three options:

o Muck, (fold) all four cards to stay out of the hand

o Call, by betting the amount of the big blind

o Raise, by betting twice the amount of the big blind.

Players may think that having four hole cards to play with may be more beneficial than two as in Texas Holdem but it's quite the contrary because you can only use two of the cards together with three community cards from the board to make your best possible This makes the game very interesting. Here are some reasons why:

· The size of the pot grows quickly because the four hole cards allow for more drawing hands. Players often see the hands to the end of the betting rounds because the two card choice is not made until the final hand is played.

· In that the drawing hands are more frequent, opponents also have hands that they are more likely to bluff with.

Tangan ganda yang cocok dengan kartu tinggi seperti Jack, King of spade dan Ace, Queen of diamonds adalah favorit karena kemungkinan flush.

Tangan yang tidak disukai pada pra-gagal dapat mencakup tiga jenis dan dua pasangan karena hanya dua kartu yang dapat digunakan di babak final.

Versi lain dari Omaha Poker disebut Hi-LO Omaha , yang dimainkan persis sama dengan Pot Limit kecuali pot dibagi antara pemenang dengan kartu peringkat tertinggi dan kartu peringkat terendah. Kemenangan peringkat rendah tidak dapat mengandung pasangan atau kartu yang lebih tinggi dari delapan. Juga, lurus dengan kartu as melalui lima dapat digunakan untuk memenangkan tangan yang tinggi atau rendah.
