Hey,
ik was playing a tourney the other day and the following thing happend to me. I was bluffing on the turn and got called on my bluff. While having a fluw draw with the ace in my hand. It showed on the river so i was all in.
My opponent showed a straight, so i was happy about winning a big pot, but it was a split pot and it said i had a straight.
Look at the following print screen:

It's always the Omaha players.

2 out of 4 hole cards. 3 out of 5 board cards. You can't have a 4-card flush on the board and have a flush with just one hole card.

Why do people play games that they have no idea what they are doing? And then when they lose and think they won they **** about it. Well if you would have done some research you would have found out how to play.

Yes, you have to use exactly 2 hole cards and exactly 3 board cards. Which hole cards you use may change as the hand progresses. You might flop a set with a pocket pair, but turn a straight with a connector then river a flush with one of your pair cards and another card.
