How Omaha equity is different
In Omaha each player gets four hole cards and must use exactly two of them with exactly three board cards. Equities run much closer than in Hold’em: even the best starting hands rarely have more than about a 70/30 edge preflop, and big draws are often favorites against made hands on the flop.
Common Omaha matchups
| Matchup | Rough equity |
|---|---|
| Double-suited aces (e.g. A♠A♥K♠K♥) vs a random hand | About 70% for the aces |
| Double-suited aces vs a double-suited rundown (e.g. J♠10♣9♠8♣) | About 55% for the aces |
| A set vs a big wrap and flush draw on the flop | Often close to a coin flip |
Check any exact matchup with the calculator above: results vary by about ±1% because they come from simulated deals.
Tips for Omaha beginners
- Four cards of one suit is worse than it looks: only two can count, and they block your own flush outs.
- Hands that work together (connected and suited, like JT98 double-suited) beat hands with one strong pair and two random cards.
- Draw to the nuts. Second-best flushes and straights lose big pots in Omaha.
How it works
The calculator deals up to 6,000 random run-outs and evaluates all 60 two-card-plus-three-card combinations for every player, so the "exactly two" rule is always applied correctly. For Hold’em, use our Hold’em odds calculator.
