Poker Basics

Six-card Omaha deals six hole cards to each player. Despite the larger starting hand, exactly two hole cards and three community cards must make the final five-card hand.

Example

Example of Six-Card Omaha

You hold only one spade among six hole cards and the board has four spades. You do not have a flush because Omaha requires two hole cards of that suit.
