6-CARD OMAHA

Community Card Game · Blinds · 7 Players Max

Overview

6-Card Omaha gives each player six hole cards. The Omaha rule still applies: exactly two hole cards + exactly three community cards must be used. With six hole cards, a player has fifteen possible two-card combinations to choose from, dramatically increasing hand possibilities. Fewer players fit at the table (7 max vs 8 in standard Omaha) due to the larger hands.

Key Rules

IMPORTANT: Players must use EXACTLY 2 of their six hole cards combined with EXACTLY 3 of the five community cards. Not 1+4, not 3+2 — always exactly 2 from hand + 3 from board.

Number of Players

2–7 players (fewer than standard Omaha due to larger hands)

The Deal

Each player receives six private hole cards. Five community cards are dealt face-up in three stages: the flop (3), turn (1), and river (1).

Two-Card Combinations

With six hole cards you have fifteen possible two-card combinations — compared to six in standard 4-card Omaha and ten in 5-card Omaha. Identifying the best two cards is the critical skill.
