Online Casino Deals Out Omaha Poker Action

8 Nov 2005

The new and improved Celeb Poker is offering players the option of getting in on a game of Omaha at many different levels of play. Omaha is a derivative of the ever popular game Texas Hold'em only with two extra cards being dealt to each player before the flop. Celeb Poker has upped the speed and consistency of its games and is now giving players a chance to play and/or learn Omaha poker.

Omaha Poker is a game derived from the popular Texas Hold'em. In Omaha poker, players play with a dealer button just like on Hold'em. Before the game begins the player immediately to the right of the button posts the "small blind", typically half a small bet (for example, $1 in a $2/$4 Omaha game). The online casino player immediately clockwise the small blind posts the "big blind", which is always a full small bet ($2 in a $2/$4 Omaha game). Now, each online player receives his or her four hole cards. Betting action begins around the table, starting with the online casino player immediately to the left the big blind.

The player with the best five-card hand wins the pot. In Omaha online poker, players must use two and only two of their four hole poker cards in combination with three of the cards from the board. In the event of identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands.
