Omaha hold'em, often called simply Omaha, is an exciting poker game that is strikingly ⭕️ similar to Texas hold'em, although it does have a number of differences to set it apart.

Unlike Texas hold'em, a game ⭕️ in which the preferred betting structure is no-limit, the most popular betting structure of Omaha games is pot-limit.

Games of this ⭕️ type are referred to as pot-limit Omaha, abbreviated as PLO poker.

The first major difference you'll instantly be aware of when ⭕️ playing PLO poker instead of hold'em is that each player is dealt exactly four hole cards instead of two.
