In this section you are provided with a series of multiple-choice questions about Omaha. Your task is to identify the correct answer in each case.

What is your best hand with the following hole cards and board cards?

  Hole Cards     Board Cards  
       

Answer C is correct. Here you can take the Nine and Eight from your hole cards to make a 9-8-7-6-5 straight. That is the highest straight you can make. It is also not possible to make a flush because you must use two of your hole cards.

What is the nut hand here?

  Board Cards  
   

Answer B is correct. Anyone holding both the Five and Four of hearts can make a Six-high straight flush: 6-5-4-3-2. Since the board is paired, anyone with two Aces in the hole could make four of a kind, but four Aces are not sufficient to beat a straight flush.
