Omaha Hold’em poker and Texas Hold’em poker are two very similar poker games but with subtle differences in the way that they are played. In both of these games, the position of the player at the table has an instrumental effect on how they will succeed in the game. Therefore, to ensure all-round fairness a dealer’s puck is placed in front of 1 player which determines the order of play and after each hand, the dealer’s puck rotates clockwise to a different player. The 2 players to the left of the dealer’s puck play their blinds before they see the cards. The player to the dealer’s puck plays the small blind and the player to the left of him plays the big blind which is half the minimum bet and equal to the minimum bet respectively. The next step is where the difference between the two games comes to light because in Texas Hold’em Poker each player is dealt two cards and these two cards must be used in the final hand but in Omaha Hold’em Poker each player is dealt 4 cards face down, however only two of these cards can be used in the final hand which is where the higher probability factor comes into play. In both games betting starts with the player to the left of the big blind beginning the betting. Both games are played with four rounds of betting and are played in the same way with the use of the ‘raise’ or ‘fold’ techniques and the ‘flop’ card after the first round of betting, the ‘turn’ card after the second round of betting and the ‘river’ card after the third round of betting. After the fourth round of betting each player shows his hand to see how it compares to the community cards that the dealer has dealt onto the table throughout the game. The object of both of these games is to see who has the best and the strongest poker hand and is, therefore, the winner.
