Each player is dealt four cards
face down (Hole Cards) at the start of Omaha poker. There are four
betting rounds in a Omaha Poker game. For the first two rounds the
bet is set at the lower limit of the stakes structure, and the last
two rounds of betting (turn card and river) are set at the higher
limit of the stakes structure. For example in a $5/$10 game, all
bets and raises are $5 for the first two rounds (after private cards
are dealt and once the flop is spread in center of table) and $10
for the last two rounds.
There are one bet and three raises allowed
per betting round. Once any player has made the third raise, the
pot is capped. The players call then call or fold. Check-raising
is allowed in all online Omaha poker games.
For Absolute Poker, a Dealer Button or a
round disk is used to show which player is the designate dealer
in Omaha poker games.
After each hand is completed, the button
moves clockwise to the next active player to be the dealer and will
act on his/her hand last on each betting round. The player to the
left of the button will receive a card first and must post a small
blind. The small blind is equal to half the lower limit bet rounded
down to the nearest dollar. The player to the left of the small
blind must post the big blind. The big blind is equal to the lower
limit bet. Blinds are similar to the ante in other poker games and
must be posted prior to the dealer dealing any cards to the players.

The small and the big blinds can also be
live bets. Players have the option of calling, raising or folding
when the betting action comes back around to their position. After
the flop and after each subsequent betting round, the first active
player left of the button is first to act.
When players first sit down to play, they
must post the equivalent of the big blind or the lower limit once
or they can opt to "sit out" until it is their natural
turn to post the big blind. This is to ensure game fairness to all
players by preventing the possibility of players entering games
in late position and then leave before they are required a post
the big blind.
