At PKR we offer the three most popular and exciting poker variations...
Hold’em is played using two hole cards and five community cards to make the best five-card poker hand. Omaha and Omaha eight-or-better are both played with four hole cards but use the same five-card community board as found in hold’em.
The key difference between the two game types is that you MUST always use two of the four cards from your hand in Omaha, but in hold’em you can use none, one, or both hole cards to make your best five-card hand.
The Hi/Lo Split version of Omaha requires each player to try and make a separate high and low hand (eight-high or lower to qualify), and the pot is split between the high and low (which may be the same player). To qualify for low, a player must be able to play an 8-7-6-5-4 or lower hence 'eight-or-better' or 'PLO8'.
All of these poker variations are offered in a mixture of fixed, no limit and pot limit betting structures – although Omaha is almost always played in a Pot Limit or Fixed Limit structure and you should note that these formats do not usually use antes in tournaments.
