Survivor Omaha


Name of the Game: Survivor Omaha

Deal: 4 cards to each player, and 5 community cards

Draws: 0 draws

Wild Cards: Little ones

Special Rules: 4 cards are dealt to each player face down. Then 5 cards are dealt to the community face down (4 are for play, and 1 is the eliminator). The community cards are flipped over 1 by 1 followed by betting. When the last "eliminator" card is flipped, it is used to remove one of the 4 cards from the community. The card closest numerically to the eliminator will be removed from the pool, leaving three cards in the community. The player must use 2 of the 4 cards from his cards to make a hand.

Variant: Rather than just playing a poker hand, you can make it a split pool with a poker hand and a spade hand. For each hand, players can chose which 2 of their 4 cards they use. Before cards are shown, each player will put a 0, 1, or 2 coins in their hands secretly to choice which pot they are playing for (0 for poker, 1 for spades, and 2 for both). Players compete for half the pot on the game type they chose. If a player picks both poker and spades, then they must win both pots to win, else they automatically lose both.
