State-owned Poker Service for Swedes
Swedish state-owned gambling monopoly Svenska Spel is to create and operate an Internet poker service. No one under the age of 18 will be allowed to play on the Internet service. Poker is the only game on the service as casinos and betting exchanges are not allowed. Players also have to set limits for themselves up front to indicate how much they are willing to lose.
Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Bosse Ringholm said the reason he is allowing the poker service to go forward is state control. Swedes can now play online poker under Big Brother's watchful eye!

Omaha Hi Lo
Omaha Hi-Lo is a variation of Omaha and is a split-pot game. Half the pot is awarded to the best high hand and half the pot is awarded to the best low hand. As in Omaha, an exact combination of two hole cards and three community cards must be used when making up your final hand. However, you can use different hole cards to make a low hand and a high hand.
Omaha Hi-Lo is sometimes referred to as Omaha Eight or Better because it is played with a qualifying requirement of 8 or better for the low half of the pot. This means that a low hand must be made up of 5 different cards, 8 or lower. And because of this requirement it is not always possible (about half the time in fact) to make a low hand depending on the community cards. For example, when the community cards are all above an 8 or contain pairs. When a low hand is not possible, the whole pot is awarded to the best high hand.
The best low hand is A-2-3-4-5 and is known as the 'wheel'. Note that this is also a straight and may be used for the high hand aswell. When a player wins both the high and the low he is said to have 'scooped'.
Where the game becomes a little complicated is that it is possible for two or more players to have the same low hand (or high hand occasionally) and when this occurs the half of the pot where players are tied is split between them. So if two players tie for the best low hand, they will, in effect, only win a quarter of the pot each.

Bet Royal Poker Introduces Omaha and Ohama Hi-Lo
Bet Royal Poker is now even better! We have introduced Omaha and Omaha Hi - Lo for your playing enjoyment, apologies to any of you who may have been inconvenienced during the upgrade.
Omaha follows the same structure as Texas Hold'em, the only difference being that each player is dealt four hole cards instead of two. There are still the same five community cards and players have to make the best five card poker hand from the nine cards available to them. However, when making your final hand you must use an exact combination of two hole cards and three community cards. This differs from Texas Hold'em where you could use either one or both (or even none) of your hole cards.
This is where many new Omaha players slip up. They see four spades on the board (the community cards are often referred to as the board) and they have the Ace of spades in their hand and they think they have the nut flush, forgetting that you must use two hole cards therefore needing two spades in your hand to make a flush.
Omaha is played either Pot Limit or Limit, it is not played No Limit as having four hole cards gives so many extra possibilities and permutations that the game would be too wild if it were played No Limit.

Omaha Starting Hands
Omaha Starting Hands
Starting hands should be coordinated, they should fit together. What you really want are cards that are more likely to form into straights, flushes or a full house. It's very rare that a pair would hold up on an Omaha table.
Look for double suited hands, giving you two chances of a flush and cards that are close together or in a run. Visit us for more!
Omaha CompetitionThe first 5 players to send in the correct answers to our Omaha competition will receive $10 in free poker chips.
1. How many hole cards are dealt in Omaha?
2. How many hole cards must you use to win a hand?
3. If there were 4 Diamonds on the board, how many diamonds in your hand do you need to make the flush?
Email your answers to
Bet Royal Poker and win!
This week's winners will be posted in our next newsletter.
Good luck at the tables this week,
