Omaha cash games: PLO, PLO5, PLO6 and Hi-Lo
Pot-limit Omaha deals four, five or six hole cards, and the most you can bet is the size of the pot. These are the Omaha cash tables in the WePlay and Basepoker lobbies, each room on its own.
The rules in short
- Your hand is exactly two of your hole cards and exactly three cards from the board. Four hearts on the board and one in your hand is not a flush.
- The most you can bet or raise is the size of the pot, counting your call first.
- Each extra hole card makes the winning hands stronger and the swings bigger, so the nuts matter more than in Hold'em.
- In Hi-Lo the pot is split between the best high hand and the best low hand. A low hand is five different cards of eight or lower, still two from your hand and three from the board. With no low hand possible, the high hand takes the whole pot.
What each extra card changes is in PLO, PLO5 and PLO6 on our sister site Poker Cash Game.
