Overview
Dramaha (also called Drawmaha) is a split-pot hybrid game that combines 5-card draw with Omaha in a single hand. Each player receives five "Individual" cards that serve double duty: all five cards form your draw hand, and exactly two of them (combined with exactly three community cards) form your Omaha hand. The pot is split between the best draw hand and the best Omaha hand — and the same player can win both halves (a scoop).

Key Rules
IMPORTANT: Your 5 Individual cards serve DOUBLE DUTY — all five cards make your Draw hand, while EXACTLY 2 of them (plus EXACTLY 3 community cards) make your Omaha hand. These are two completely independent evaluations for two separate pot halves.
Number of Players
2–6 players (a full deck of 52 cards limits the field when each player receives 5 cards plus 5 community cards).
The Deal
Each player receives 5 face-down "Individual" cards before any community cards are dealt.
The Draw
After the flop betting round, each player may discard and replace any number of their individual cards — from 0 (stand pat) to all 5. This is the unique mechanic that separates Dramaha from standard Omaha.
Split Pot — Two Independent Hands
DRAW HALF: Best 5-card hand using ALL FIVE individual cards (standard high hand rankings — pairs, straights, flushes, etc.)
OMAHA HALF: Best 5-card hand using EXACTLY 2 individual cards + EXACTLY 3 community cards (standard Omaha rules apply)
The same player can win both halves — this is called a "scoop"
Betting Rounds
Pre-Flop → Flop (3 community cards) → Draw → Turn (4th community card) → River (5th community card) → Showdown
The Key Insight
Your 5 individual cards serve as BOTH your full draw hand AND your Omaha hole cards. A card that completes your draw flush may also be the second hole card that connects you to the Omaha board. Think in two dimensions every time you make a decision.
Strategy Tips
Keep cards that work for BOTH pots — a single card may contribute to your draw hand AND your Omaha holding
After seeing the flop, decide which pot to fight for with your draw
Suited connectors and Broadway cards have value for the draw hand AND can connect with the board
Drawing to complete a made draw hand (flush, straight) is often worth sacrificing weak Omaha cards
If you can make a premium draw hand AND a strong Omaha hand, you can scoop the entire pot
