DRAMAHA

Community Card Game · Blinds · Single Draw · Split Pot (Draw / Omaha) · 6 Players Max · aka "Drawmaha"

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).

Step through a live deal — watch how the draw mechanic interacts with the Omaha board to create two separate pot halves.

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

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.
