Seven Card Stud Rules     Tournament General Rules

Omaha is similar to hold’em in using a three-card flop on the board, a fourth boardcard, and
then a fifth boardcard. Each player is dealt four holecards (instead of two) at the start. In order
to make a hand, a player must use precisely two holecards with three boardcards. The betting
is the same as in hold'em. At the showdown, the entire four-card hand should be shown to
receive the pot.

The best possible five card poker hand, using exactly two hole cards and three
community cards, wins the pot.

Betting Rounds

1.The dealer deals each player their own four cards face-down (pocket cards)

2.1st betting round

3.The dealer burns a card then turns over three community cards face-up
(the flop)

4.2nd betting round
5.The dealer burns another card then turns over 1 more community card (the turn,4th street)

6.3rd betting round

7.The dealer burns another card then turns over 1 final community card (the river,5th street )

8.Last betting round

9.Showdown (Every remaining player shows hand with bettor showing first)

All remaining players must use their two pocket cards and the three
boardcards.

RULES OF OMAHA

1. All the rules of hold’em apply to Omaha except the rule on playing the board, which is not
possible in Omaha (because you must use two cards from your hand and three cards from the
board).
