Each player is dealt four cards face down. The rounds then progress as follows:
Preflop: Play begins to dealer's left. First player is required to post small blind which is equal to half of the lower bet size. The player to his left is required to post the big blind which is equal to the lower bet size. Each player in turn, proceeding to the left, may Call, Raise, or Fold. Any raise must be of the low limit bet size. A maximum of three raises may be made, (big blind bet doesn't count as a raise) and the round ends after all bets have been matched. The small blind bettor will have to match the difference between the small and big blind when play comes back to him. When play comes back to the big blind bettor, if nobody has raised, he may Check, Raise, or Fold. It the pot was raised, he may Call, Raise, or Fold.
The Flop: Three "community" cards are dealt face up in center of table. Play begins to dealer's left. The beginning player may Bet, Check, or Fold. Subsequent players may place an initial bet, check, or fold if no bet has been made, or they may Raise, Call, or Fold if a bet has been made. Bets and raises in this round must be of the low limit bet size. A maximum of three raises may be made, and the round ends after all bets have been matched.
The Turn: One more community card is dealt face up. This round is played the same as previous, except that bets and raises must be of the high limit bet size.
The River: One more community card is dealt face up. This round is played the same as previous.
Showdown: All players who haven't folded turn their cards face up. The player(s) with the highest ranking 5-card hand wins the pot and it is split equally if more than one player has the highest hand. NOTE: Standard poker comparisons for hands are used. Only cards making the best possible 5-card hand for a player are considered, not the remaining two.
NOTE: In Omaha Express the players can use any number of cards from the community and pocket in the showdown to make the best hand. In other variations of Omaha, the hands used in showdown must be comprised of 3 community cards and 2 pocket cards. In Omaha Express you do not have
this limitation.
