Instead, the game starts with two cards face down and a third face up (the hole cards and the door card). In seven-card stud, you have two to eight players and there’s no flop or community cards. There’s a little more to it and it’s generally thought to involve more skill. This game was king before Texas Hold'em exploded in popularity. The player with the best high hand at showdown wins. Omaha has five community cards with a flop, turn and river and the betting is the same as Texas Hold’em. In Omaha, players receive four ‘hole’ cards (instead of two) and can only use two cards from their hand along with the three community cards. Omaha is similar to Texas Hold’em, but there’s a twist.
