Omaha Hold’em Poker (also called Omaha Hold’em or Omaha Holdem) is a variation of poker community cards, comprising, like Texas hold’em, five community cards, but four hole cards to each player instead of two. In addition, each player must make the best hand possible with exactly two of his hole cards and three community cards. The origin of Omaha is unknown, but it is the player Robert Turner who introduced it the first in gaming circles. Later, Bill Boyd has taught and introduced the game at the Golden Nugget Casino (where this game was called the ‘Nugget Hold’em’). It uses a set of French cards to play Omaha. The Omaha Hi-Lo in its limit poker variant is present in HORSE (shown by the letter “O”). The limit variant of Omaha Hi-Lo and Pot Limit Hi are present in the 8-game (THORSEHA respectively the letter “O” and “A”).
