Omaha

Omaha is a variety of poker that is growing in popularity. It is played as either Omaha or Omaha Hi Lo, usually at Pot Limit.

Omaha poker follows the same rules as Texas Hold'em poker, but with two exceptions

Players are dealt four "pocket" cards instead of two.
Players must use two "pocket" cards and three "community" cards to make their best high hand.

The principle is the same, but the two differences in the rules demand a very different strategy for playing Omaha Poker.
