When you play Free Omaha Poker game, you are dealt four private cards (hole cards), two of which you must use to make your final five-card hand, and the rest of your five-card hand is comprised of three cards, which are shared by all players, also called community cards. So, in case your hole cards contain three of a kind, it’s really of no more use to you than holding a pair. In Omaha Poker, there are several rounds of betting, and the hole cards are dealt, followed by a round of betting, and then additional betting occurs as the community cards are dealt.

When you play Free Omaha Poker game, first the dealer deals each player 4 cards face down, called hole cards, which can be seen only by the player that are dealt. Then, the next player after the big blind decides whether to call, raise or fold the big blind, and each player in turn is given these options, until all bets are called and the big blind checks. Remember, in a fixed limit game, any raises are limited to the lower stake amount, while in a pot limit game, the bet can’t exceed the pot amount.

Free Omaha Poker Game Play - The Flop, the Turn and the River

The Free Omaha Poker game continues with the dealer turns over the first three community cards, called the Flop. All of the betting rounds start with the player directly to the dealers left, and for fixed limit games, this round of betting still uses the lower stake, so in for example in $2/$4 game, any bets or raises must be $2. Then comes the Turn (sometimes called “Fourth Street”), which is the fourth community card, and a new betting round occurs. Here, the bet amount for fixed limit games increases to the upper stake ($4 for the upper example), and then betting continues until all bets are called. Once this betting round ends, comes the River (Fifth Street), the final community card, and the last round of betting takes place, where still amount for fixed limit games is the big stake.

Free Omaha Poker Game Play - The Showdown

The Free Omaha Poker game will end, when all the bets have been called, so it’s time to show the cards, and the last player to bet or raise during the final betting round will show his/her hand first (if all the players checked through the river, the small blind will show first). Then remaining player’s hands will be automatically revealed moving clockwise, unless a hand is weaker than the winning hand shown, in which case, you’ll have the option to show, or muck (fold without showing), and the best five card hand takes the pot.
