Editing Omaha hold 'em (section)

==Omaha variations==
The most common variations of Pot Limit Omaha high are Five-card Omaha, commonly referred as "'''Big O'''" very popular in Southeastern United States as a home game and Six-card Omaha or 6-O which can be found in many casinos across the [[United Kingdom|UK]]. Some [[online poker]] rooms support Five-card Omaha, Six-card Omaha and Courchevel.

"Big O" (occasionally called Five-card Omaha or 5-O) began appearing in Southern California in 2008 and had spread to most of the card rooms in the area by the end of the year.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}}

Sometimes the high-low split game is played with a '''9''' or a '''7'''-high qualifier instead of '''8'''-high. It can also be played with five cards dealt to each player instead of four. In that case, the same rules for making a hand apply: exactly two from the player's hand, and exactly three from the board.

===Courchevel===
Courchevel is named after [[Courchevel|the high-end ski resort in the French Alps]]. According to the urban legend, bored tourists wanted to play a version of poker no-one has ever played before, so they came up with this game. The place where Courchevel was most commonly played was the [[Aviation Club de France|Aviation Club de France in Paris]]. That casino is now closed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://somuchpoker.com/courchevel-poker-game-rules/|title=Courchevel Rules|website=somuchpoker.com|access-date=2019-04-04}}</ref>

In the game of Courchevel,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.pokerplayer.co.uk/poker-strategy/other-poker-games/9673/omaha_variant_couchevel_strategy.html |title=Pokerplayer.co.uk: Courchevel |access-date=2013-06-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130414044218/http://www.pokerplayer.co.uk/poker-strategy/other-poker-games/9673/omaha_variant_couchevel_strategy.html |archive-date=2013-04-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref> players are dealt five hole cards rather than four. Simultaneously, the first community card is dealt. Following an opening round of betting, two additional community cards are dealt, creating a 3-card flop, where the structure of the game is then identical to standard Omaha. Still, exactly two of the five hole cards must be used. Courchevel is popular in [[France]] but its popularity has expanded in other parts of Europe, particularly the [[United Kingdom]]. Courchevel is also available in a hi-low 8 or better variety, and while Courchevel is rarely offered on any of the major [[online poker]] sites, as of 2019, hi-low sit-and-go games at the micro stakes level can be found taking place several times a day on Pokerstars, which had the game since 2013.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sunryzen.com/2019/gaming/poker/poker-variant-courchevel-tips-strategy-how-to-play-courchevel/|title=Poker Variant {{!}} Courchevel {{!}} Tips, Strategy, How to Play Courchevel|date=2019-02-13|website=SUNRYZEN|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-13}}</ref>
