Omaha hahaha
Although the game of Omaha has been around for a very long time, takes a lot of skill, and is far from an easy game, many people laugh it off! “You are playing Omaha; hahaha”. I am often asked what I am doing, and when I say playing Omaha that is usually the response.
No Limit Texas Hold’em is seen as the KING of poker. Let me tell you though that Omaha is no laughing matter. For anyone who hasn’t played Omaha, it is a very difficult game to master. Omaha is also a game which can be very profitable over time, especially with new comers fooling around and making a joke of this serious game. In realistic terms Omaha is the same as Texas Hold’em, but as many would know you are dealt four hole cards instead of two. Most players who are in-experienced in this game see this as making it easier to play when in fact having 4 cards makes it harder. Let’s say we have trip 7’s in our hand as our hole cards. We can only use 2 of them. An inexperienced player can see this hand as a great hand! They immediately think they have trips!
Think again, in every aspect! Omaha is far from easy and having a good hard look at the rules, Omaha strategy and skill needed for it is a must before hitting an online poker table. Don’t laugh off Omaha, give it a go!

Texas Holdem is the most common game form played online but it looks to me that Omaha has its own pull amongst the online gaming community
