*** SUMMARY ***


This is my 1st time playing Omaha. I have a straight no? lol im lost or maybe just stupid

MUST use TWO cards from your hand. MUST. Not one. Not three.

lol - you have to use exactly two cards from your hand. Otherwise 2222 would be an awesome starting hand.

Okay I understand that but, with 8 5 7 6 10 on the board, wouldnt my 9's give me a straight and not a pair?

You obviously don't understand it.

What would your 5 card hand be, and which two cards from your hand would you be playing?

No, as you can only use THREE of the cards on the board. (3 from board + 2 from your hand = 5 card poker hand)

btw - do you play on FTP - what's your sn???

Okay Im new at this i apologize if I sound inferior. Im so used to playing Hold em lol. If this was a hold em hand i would have a straight correct?

No it would be a misdeal because you have four hole cards.

lol - don't worry, it's a common mistake. Just like people thinking they have a flush with just the naked ace on a 4-flush board.

In NLHE you would have a straight, yes. In PLO you have a pair of nines. Your best 5 card hand is 9-9-T-8-7.

lol

thanks simo

It's like our own little version of prtyp's "Royal Holdem" thread...
