Overview
Dramaha A-5 is a split-pot game combining A-5 Single Draw lowball with Omaha high. Each player receives five Individual cards and fights for two separate pots simultaneously. The A-5 Low half is won by the best lowball hand using all five individual cards (evaluated by A-5 ranking). The Omaha High half is won by the best high hand using exactly two individual cards plus exactly three community cards. A single draw round occurs after the flop, giving players the chance to improve their low hand before the turn.

Key Rules
IMPORTANT: Two completely separate hands are evaluated. For the A-5 Low half, all five individual cards are used. For the Omaha High half, you must use EXACTLY 2 individual cards + EXACTLY 3 community cards.
Number of Players
2–6 players.
The Deal
Five face-down Individual cards are dealt to each player. These cards serve as both your A-5 lowball hand (all five) and your Omaha hole cards (exactly 2 of 5).
The Draw (Single Draw)
After the flop betting round, each player may discard and replace any number of their individual cards (0 to all 5). This is the only draw — it occurs once, between the flop and the turn.
Split Pot — Two Independent Hands
A-5 LOW HALF: Best 5-card A-5 lowball hand using ALL FIVE individual cards
OMAHA HIGH HALF: Best 5-card high hand using EXACTLY 2 individual cards + EXACTLY 3 community cards
A-5 Lowball Rules
Aces count as LOW (good for low hands)
Straights and flushes do NOT count against you
Lower is better — compare from highest card down
Best hand: A-2-3-4-5 (the "wheel" — five perfect low cards)
Example: A-2-3-4-6 beats A-2-3-5-6 because when comparing second-highest card, 4 < 5
Betting Order
Pre-flop → Flop (3 community cards) → Flop betting → Draw (single draw) → Turn (1 community card) → Turn betting → River (1 community card) → River betting → Showdown
Strategy Tips
Look for A-2, A-3, 2-3 combinations — the core of all great A-5 low draws
After the flop, draw to complete a smooth low (no "gaps" above 5)
Your low draw hand doesn't interact with the community cards at all — focus on getting low cards
For the Omaha high pot, hold cards that pair or suit with likely community cards
The wheel (A-2-3-4-5) scoops everything — it's also a straight for high!
