==History== Omaha hold 'em derives its name from two types of games. "Hold'em" refers to a game using community cards that are shared by all players. This is opposed to [[draw poker|draw]] games, where each player's hand is composed only of concealed cards, and [[stud poker|stud]] games, where each player's unique hand contains a mix of cards visible to the other players and concealed hole cards. In the original Omaha poker game, players were only dealt two hole cards and had to use both to make a hand combined with community cards.<ref name="Super System">Doyle Brunson, <cite>''Super System: A course in Power Poker''</cite>, Cardoza Publishing (1978), {{ISBN|1-58042-081-8}}</ref> This version of Omaha is defined in the glossary of ''[[Super/System]]'' (under Omaha) as being interchangeable with "[[Greek hold 'em|Tight hold 'em]]". Across all the variations of the game, the requirement of using exactly two hole cards is the only consistent rule. The "Omaha" part of the name represents this aspect of the game.
