An Overview of Omaha Play

Players who are familiar with Texas Hold’em will feel right at home playing Omaha Poker, as the betting is structured in quite the same fashion. The poker game begins with each player placing their pre deal mandatory blind bets.

The dealer deals out four cards face down on the poker table to each player. These are the player’s pocket cards. These are cards number 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The first betting round begins, and is usually set at a lower limit.



The dealer then turns over three community board cards face up on the table. This part of the game is known as the flop. These are cards number 5, 6 and 7.

The second betting round begins now. This second round of betting is also usually set at a lower limit.



The dealer now turns over one more community board card face up on the table. This part of the poker game is known as the turn. The turn accounts for card number 8.



It’s now time for the third betting round, which is now set at a higher limit. The dealer turns over the final community board card face up on the table. The placing of this card in the game is known as the river. The river accounts for card number 9.

Now it’s time for the final round of betting. This betting round has a higher set limit.



With all bets now in, it’s time for the showdown.



In an Omaha Poker showdown, the players must use two of their pocket cards and three community board cards to make their best five card hand. The player holding the best five card hand is the winner.

YESTERDAY YOU ATE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE KILLING YOU

YES MY FRIENDS, YESTERDAY YOU ATE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE KILLING YOU. WORSE YET, YOU’RE FEEDING IT TO YOUR FAMILY. YOU SEE PEOPLE EVERY DAY EATING MORE AND MORE OF IT. IT’S KILLING OUR NATION AND MAKING YOU FAT IN THE PROCESS – STOP EATING IT TODAY, AND START LOOKING AND FEELING BETTER WITHIN 24 HOURS!

For the first time ever, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) dietary guidelines has identified sugar as a part of our diet we should limit, prompted by an overwhelmingly amount of evidence that proves high-sugar foods, such as cookies and soft drinks, not only lead to weight gain, but they often replace the foods that really need to be eaten each day to survive and thrive.

If you eat a healthy diet and meet your nutritional needs on most days, you can still enjoy guilty pleasures like a sweet dessert or an occasional sugary soda. But, keep in mind, that no matter what form of sugar you eat – from Gummi Bears to Wheaties – carbohydrates (sugars) contain 4 calories per gram, they break down to simple sugars during digestion (except for fiber which is indigestible) and are either used for immediate energy, or stored as fat!

While you need sugars in your body to keep it running, you should pick sugars that come in the form of nutrient-rich starches like whole grains. You should also eat plenty of vegetables – which do contain sugars, but do contain an abundance of valuable vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting chemicals.

The kind of sugar that you should stay away from is added sugar (the sweeteners that are dumped into foods by manufacturers). Added sugar is causing increasing concern because consumption of this diet-buster has risen more than 30 percent in the last two decades, with Americans now gobbling up a whopping 64 pounds of this fattening substance each year!

According to the USDA, 20 percent or more of the daily calories for nearly one-quarter of adult women come from sugar, making it the culprit of weight- gain and diet disasters nationwide, not to mention that fact that it’s part of the cause of diseases like breast cancer.

With this in mind, let’s look at some ways we can shave calories from sneaky sugar sources. These include
