In Your Defense
One of poker's oldest adages is 'know the rules of the game you are playing'. But then I guess you thought you knew the rules of the game you were playing.
In your defense there is an obscure version of Hold'em where you get four hole cards instead of two and can use any five cards to make your hand but I have never seen it played though have read about its existence. I think it even went by the name of Omaha. The game we all know as Omaha may well have come from it.
