OMAHA POKER

WHERE TO PLAY

OMAHA POKER

ABOUT OMAHA POKER

Omaha poker is slowly positioning itself as the safe alternative to Texas Hold ‘em. Though Hold ‘em has pretty much taken over the world, many players seeking a fun alternative choose to play Omaha poker online. This is especially true about pot-limit Omaha, which is gaining somewhat of a ‘cult following’ in the online poker world.

The biggest advantage Omaha poker offers is also its biggest disadvantage; since online Omaha is considered an alternative game, when you play Omaha poker online you’ll come across fewer players, find fewer freerolls and sit-n-goes, and have a smaller range of table limits to choose from. The obvious advantage is that staying in the shadow of a giant like Hold ‘em makes it easier to find soft competition when you play Omaha poker online. Plus, there’s nothing like that feeling you get when you just do your own Omaha thing rather than follow the ‘ol Holdem herd. Helping you find your thing is what AceHoyle.com is here to do.

The Highs and Lows of Omaha

Another advantage Omaha Poker offers is the popular and exiting Omaha High-Low variant. When you simply say Omaha poker you’re usually referring to Omaha High, where the best hand to win the pot is determined by traditional poker hand rankings. Omaha High-Low is a split game, meaning that the pot is split between the best traditional hand (the ‘high hand’) and the best qualifying ‘low hand’. The low hand in Omaha High-Low is determined using the ‘ace-to-five low’ evaluating method. To learn more about this exiting game, visit our Omaha High-Low page.
