Omaha Hi (PLO)

Now after we've introduced basic rules of poker, let's move to the definition of Omaha.
Omaha hold 'em (or Omaha holdem or simply Omaha) is a kind of "Hold'em", where each player is dealt four cards and must make his best hand using exactly two of them, plus exactly three of the five community cards.
Now, it is the fastest growing poker game in the  world.
Mainly, Omaha is played in pot-limit variant. That's why she is also known as Pot-Limit Omaha or PLO.

Omaha appeared in Nevada in 1982, as a lady that charmed everyone, both professionals and amateurs due to glory or despair capabilities.

At each session, from hands to hands move huge sums of money, because pots are on average two times higher than in Texas Hold'em. Involved in the game a lot of money and understanding that Omaha - is the future of poker, have created unprecedented in history of poker opportunities for earning money. 

The main reason for growing popularity of Omaha is its great attraction for the action players. These people are like big banks and short intervals between rounds of play. They overestimate the factor of luck in the game and for some reason think that the are luckier than anyone else. 

 So why it is called Omaha - after all, as stated above, the game appeared in Nevada. The reason is as follows. Normal Hold'em was played in Nevada in two forms: the popular form of Texas Hold’em, where the player was allowed to use any five of the seven cards available to him, and other more rare form, where he must play exactly two cards from his hole cards. It was this rare form that was called Omaha (she is called for some reason the Greek Hold'em). Therefore, residents of Nevada have already used the word "Omaha” in order to identify the two cards from hole cards, which must be showed at the showdown. 

When the game appeared in Las Vegas she was named Omaha, in order to emphasize the fact that must be used exactly two cards from hole cards.

In matters of gambling Nevada sets the tone for the whole world. Now you know the origin of name of four-card game from Hold’em family, which had many local names in the eighties.
