PLO-5: Five Card Pot Limit Omaha
FIVE IS BETTER THAN FOUR
PLO-5 is a variation on Omaha style poker where instead of four hole cards, you are dealt five. Experience the excitement of Five Card Pot Limit Omaha right here on Natural8!
What is PLO-5 Poker?
PLO-5 is a variant version of Omaha poker. Each player is dealt five private hole cards, which can only be used by that player. Five community cards are then dealt face-up on the board. Players will then use any three of the community cards together with any two of their hole cards to make the best five-card poker hand.
What is Pot Limit?
In Pot Limit poker, you play with Pot Limit rules. This means that the maximum bet depends on the size of the pot itself. Unlike No Limit variants, you won’t always have the possibility to go ‘All-In’ in any given hand.
Five Is Better Than Four
PLO-5 is a variation on Omaha style poker where instead of four hole cards, you are dealt five. However, you still will only use two cards from your hand and three from the community cards to make your best hand!
