Omaholics $130,000 Rake Race
Wednesday, September 02, 2009 03:22Omaha is a game that appears very similar to Texas hold’em, but in fact is quite different. The additional two cards and the restriction that players can only use three board cards creates an entire new array of strategies relevant to Omaha. There is one poker variation that beat all the others – it’s definitely the game where you find most action and good players have a huge edge against lesser opponents.
