Overview
Route 66 is a split-pot hybrid combining 5-card draw with Omaha, played on a 6-card community board (3+2+1). Each player receives six individual cards, draws after the flop, then competes for two pot halves: the best 5-card draw hand (best 5 of your 6 individual cards) and the best Omaha hand (exactly 2 individual + 3 community). The same player can win both and scoop the pot.

Key Rules
IMPORTANT: Your 6 individual cards serve DOUBLE DUTY. For the draw half: your best 5 of 6 individual cards form your draw hand. For the Omaha half: exactly 2 of your 6 individual cards + exactly 3 of the 6 community cards. Two completely independent evaluations.
Number of Players
2–6 players (6 cards each × 6 players = 36 individual cards plus 6 community cards)
The Deal & Flow
Pre-Flop: Each player receives 6 face-down individual cards → Bet

Split Pot — Two Independent Hands
DRAW HALF: Best 5-card hand using any 5 of your 6 individual cards (standard high rankings)
OMAHA HALF: Best 5-card hand using EXACTLY 2 individual + EXACTLY 3 community (of the 6 community cards)
The same player can win both halves — a scoop
Strategy Tips
The draw round is your chance to improve the draw half without hurting the Omaha half
Discard cards that contribute nothing to either half
After seeing the flop, decide which pot half to prioritize
6 community cards give many more Omaha combinations than standard Dramaha
Suited connectors and Broadway cards have dual value for both halves
