Definitie & Betekenis van "Omaha hold 'em"

What is "Omaha hold 'em"?

Omaha hold 'em is a variant of poker similar to Texas hold 'em but with a key difference. Each player is dealt four private cards, known as hole cards, instead of two. Like in Texas hold 'em, five community cards are dealt face-up in the center of the table, and players aim to make the best five-card hand. The important rule in Omaha is that players must use exactly two of their hole cards and three of the community cards to form their hand. The game has four betting rounds, pre-flop, the flop, the turn, and the river, just like in Texas hold 'em. Players can check, bet, raise, or fold during each round, and the player with the best hand at the end of the final round wins the pot. Omaha hold 'em requires a different strategy due to the four hole cards, offering more opportunities for strong hands and more action.
