Cold Omaha is a variation of poker based on the rules of Omaha Hi-Lo (8 or Better). The game is played by 5 to 10 players with each of them receiving five hole cards (one more than in the regular Omaha game). As soon as the cards are dealt, the deck may be left aside as it is no longer needed in the game. Every player observes their cards and gives up one card that they do not need face-down. The dealer collects these cards, makes up a deck and shuffles it. Its very nice game.
