Omaha Poker in Kenya
On this page 6
Omaha Hold'em is a poker variant in which players receive four hole cards instead of the standard two. While at first glance similar to Texas Hold'em, Omaha has a twist: players must use exactly two of their hole cards in combination with three community cards, making it impossible to play a straight with just one hole card.

Board sets, bad ranks and suits
With three of a kind on the board, a player needs a pair in hand to complete a full house. Three or four cards of one rank in the initial hand are bad, with 2♠2♣2♥2♦ considered the worst. Starting with four cards of one suit makes a flush less likely, whilst starting with four different suits wipes out any chance of a flush and disconnected cards reduce straight possibilities.
Hi-lo split pots and scoops
In Omaha hi-lo, games are played for split pots. If no qualifying low hand is available, the high hand scoops the whole pot. Low hands frequently tie, and high straights occasionally tie, as do, even more rarely, full houses.
Pot-limit betting
Pot-limit Omaha is played online and in high-stakes mixed games. Here, the cap on wager size is the size of the pot.
Omaha on iOS and Android
Today, mobile access is widespread, with all good poker casino sites catering for customers using either Apple iOS or Android devices. A huge boom in mobile gaming is underway, which online poker sites take full advantage of.
