Omaha holdem poker is a community card poker, where there are five community cards and four personal cards has each player. And the number of personal cards is not the only difference between Omaha holdem poker and Texas Hold'em poker. The main thing concerning Omaha holdem poker is that you have to use exact two of four your personal cards and exact three of five community cards. For example, if the community cards have four cards of one suite and you have also one card of this suite, you cannot use this card (as if you did that in Texas Hold'em poker). As well as if you want to collect a full house, there should be two of the cards on the table and you must have two of them in your hands.
