I was playing in a home game yesterday and we played a few hands of Omaha hi.
One of the players that thinks he knows a lot about poker states:
"I folded that flush draw because the odds are cut in half of catching your flush in omaha because so many cards are being used."
I replied with something like:
"If it's a 10 handed game of holdem or a 4 handed game of holdem the odds of catching a flush are just the same, so why would it be any different in a game of omaha, you just go be the unseen cards?"
Are the odds different in omaha than from holdem?
