Omaha is played in a similar way to Texas Hold'em, except that nine cards are used, creating a wider range of possible combinations. This makes for a more intricate game where you have to really be on your toes. The rules themselves are also related to Texas Hold'em, except for the fact that Omaha deals four pocket cards (rather than two), and the showdown only uses two pocket cards and three communal cards (rather then a choice of any combinations of communal and pocket cards).
