How Hold'em and Omaha Variants works
These games keep the shape of Hold'em but change the cards. Short Deck removes the low cards and leaves 36, from 6 to Ace. Omaha deals you four hole cards and you must use exactly two of them, which makes strong hands more common than in Hold'em. Pineapple deals three and has you discard one.
Double-board games split the pot between two sets of community cards, so a hand that looks great on one board can be dead on the other.
Good to know
- In Omaha you must use two hole cards and three board cards. Using more or fewer is not allowed.
- In Short Deck, a flush beats a full house as played here.
- Omaha Hi-Lo splits the pot between the best high hand and the best qualifying low.
