Coming SoonHow to Play Pot-Limit Omaha
Omaha is Hold'em on steroids — more cards, bigger pots, one critical rule that separates new players from the pack.
Four Hole Cards
Each player is dealt four private hole cards instead of two. More cards mean more combinations and more action.
The 2+3 Rule
You MUST use exactly two hole cards combined with exactly three community cards. Three from hand or one from hand is illegal.
Flop, Turn, River
Five community cards over three streets: three on the flop, one on the turn, one on the river. Betting rounds between each, same as Hold'em.
Pot-Limit Betting
Maximum raise = size of the current pot (after the call). This caps individual bets but lets pots snowball quickly through multiple streets.
Showdown
Best 5-card hand from valid 2-hole+3-board combinations wins. Standard poker rankings apply — flush still beats straight, full house still beats flush.

Learn Pot-Limit Omaha
Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) is the second-most popular variant of poker worldwide and the game of choice for many high-stakes professionals. The four-card hand and the mandatory 2-of-4 hole-card rule create more equity collisions, bigger pots and faster bankroll swings than Hold'em. Played well, it rewards disciplined hand selection; played casually, it punishes hopeful calls.
Before sitting down, refresh on standard poker hand rankings and general poker rules — Omaha uses the same ranking ladder (royal flush > straight flush > quads > full house > flush > straight > trips > two pair > pair > high card). What changes is which 5-card combinations you can legally make.
PLO strategy revolves around pot-limit Omaha strategy, starting hand selection, position, and recognising when your implied odds justify a speculative call. Wraps (open-ended draws using multiple connected hole cards) and double-suited hands generate huge equity when the board cooperates. Compared with Texas Hold'em, PLO is more about equity than absolute hand strength — top pair is a much weaker holding than in Hold'em.
If you are coming from Texas Hold'em, start with the Omaha Poker overview, then drill the poker mathematics behind PLO equity. Familiar concepts like continuation betting and bluffing apply but at different frequencies. For tournament play, see tournament strategy; for cash games, cash game tactics. And remember — Hold'em is still available here if you want to compare.
Omaha — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between Omaha and Texas Hold'em?
Omaha deals four hole cards instead of two. You must use exactly two of those four hole cards together with exactly three of the five community cards. In Hold'em you can use any combination of your two hole cards and the board. The 2+3 rule is the single biggest source of mistakes when Hold'em players first try Omaha.
Is Pot-Limit Omaha free to play here?
Yes. The PLO table on this page is 100% free, no deposits, no sign-up. You play against AI opponents with virtual chips and can replay as many hands as you want.
What is the 2+3 rule in Omaha?
You must use exactly two of your four hole cards combined with exactly three of the five community cards to form your final 5-card hand. You cannot use three hole cards, and you cannot use only one. This rule is enforced automatically at showdown — the engine evaluates all 60 valid 2-hole-by-3-board combinations and picks your best legal hand.
What does Pot-Limit mean?
Pot-Limit means the maximum a player can bet or raise is equal to the size of the current pot after the call has been made. Formula: max bet = current pot + current bet + amount to call. This restricts blow-up all-ins seen in No-Limit, but the pot still snowballs because each round of raises can roughly double the pot.
What are good starting hands in Omaha?
Strong PLO hands are coordinated and ideally double-suited. The premium tier is A-A with two suited connectors (such as A♠ A♥ K♠ Q♥). Connected runs like J♠ T♠ 9♥ 8♥ are also strong. Avoid four unconnected cards, or hands with one "dangler" (a card that doesn't connect to the rest).
Why is Omaha harder than Hold'em?
Top pair is much weaker because there are more equity collisions — opponents are more likely to have at least two pair, a draw, or both. Pots also grow faster, so post-flop mistakes are more expensive. Reading boards, equity, and "wraps" (multi-card straight draws) takes time to master.
Can I play Omaha on mobile?
Yes, the Omaha table is fully mobile responsive — open this page on any phone or tablet browser. The 2+3 rule, 4 hole cards and pot-limit cap all work identically on mobile.
