Community Card Game · Blinds · Omaha · Split Pot (Board A / Board B) · 9 Players Max
Overview
Double-Board Omaha combines the complexity of Omaha with the excitement of two simultaneous community boards. Each player receives four hole cards and must use exactly 2 hole cards + exactly 3 community cards — evaluated independently against each board. The pot splits between the best high hand on Board A and the best high hand on Board B. Scoop both boards to win everything.

The Deal
4 hole cards to each player. Then two separate community boards are dealt simultaneously, each following the standard Omaha structure:
The Flop: Three cards on each board
The Turn: One card added to each board
The River: One final card on each board
The Omaha Rule
Players must use EXACTLY 2 of their 4 hole cards + EXACTLY 3 community cards — evaluated independently against each board. This is the core Omaha rule and it applies to every board independently.
The Boards
Board A (5 cards) and Board B (5 cards) each follow the standard flop/turn/river structure. Players use their same 4 hole cards against both boards, but select the best 2-card combination from their hand for each board separately.
Split Pot
The pot is divided equally between two winners:
Board A winner: Best five-card hand using exactly 2 hole cards + 3 Board A community cards
Board B winner: Best five-card hand using exactly 2 hole cards + 3 Board B community cards
If the same player wins both boards, they scoop the entire pot.
Betting Rounds
Pre-Flop: After receiving 4 hole cards
Flop: After three cards are dealt to both boards simultaneously
Turn: After the fourth card on both boards
River: After the fifth card on both boards
Strategy Tips
Evaluate your hand strength against both boards simultaneously
Hands that can make strong straights, flushes, or sets have better equity across multiple board textures
Pocket pairs and suited high cards gain extra value — potential to scoop both boards
Omaha's exactly-2-hole-card rule means you can't play the board alone — always ensure your hand genuinely connects with each board
