Community Card Game · Blinds · 8 Players Max
5-Card Omaha is played like standard Omaha Hold'em except each player receives five hole cards instead of four. The critical rule remains the same: players must use exactly two of their hole cards combined with exactly three of the five community cards to make their best five-card hand. Having the extra hole card increases the number of two-card combinations from six (in 4-card Omaha) to ten, giving players significantly more ways to connect with the board.
Step through a live deal — see how 5-Card Omaha's extra hole card creates ten two-card combinations while the must-use-two rule still applies.
IMPORTANT: Players must use EXACTLY 2 of their five hole cards combined with EXACTLY 3 of the five community cards to make their best hand. Not 1+4, not 3+2 — always exactly 2 from hand + 3 from board.
2–8 players
Each player receives five private hole cards. Five community cards are dealt face-up in three stages: the flop (3 cards), the turn (1 card), and the river (1 card).
With five hole cards you have ten possible two-card combinations to select from — compared to six in standard 4-card Omaha. This dramatically increases hand connectivity but the two-card selection rule never changes.
