Exchange Omaha Hi is the newest game to hit the Exchange Games shelves and has proven to be one of the most popular games yet. It is quickly gaining ground on Hold'em, due to its fast paced play and relatively simple game rules.Omaha may resemble Texas Hold'em in the fact that it is a game played with five community cards but the truth is the two games are quite different from each other. Each player is dealt four hole cards opposed to hold'em's two. Two of these four hole cards and exactly three of the five community cards can be used to make up each players best possible hand (see below). A typical Omaha scenario  Exchange Omaha Hi 101 Exchange Omaha Hi in total has up to four betting round per game; you can choose to back or lay one or more of the four hands available just like you do in the Betting Exchange. Here is how a game of Exchange Omaha Hi is played; Deal: Four cards are dealt to each of the four hands face down. Pre-flop: All four cards for each hand are then overturned, the second betting round then commences. The Flop: Next, three cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table. These cards are called the "flop". All three cards are 'community' cards and can be used by all four hands at the table to make up the best possible hand. The Turn: Following the flop, a fourth community card is dealt face up in the middle of the table. This card is called the "turn" card and can also be used by all four hands at the table. It is followed by a fourth and final round of betting. The River: Unlike playing Omaha, in Exchange Omaha, there is no betting once the "river" has been dealt as this final card decides the winner.  In the above example hand 4 uses 5 and 6 to win with a seven high straight. Omaha Tip Remember that in Exchange Omaha Hi, a flush or a straight is not necessarily as likely a winner as it would be if playing Exchange Hold'em. With four hands in each of the games, a full house is very often going to come up which will beat the flushes and straights.
