Here are some important probabilities in Omaha that returns in different situations. Knowledge about probabilities will help you to better evaluate situations in poker. You will , for example, know when you should call and when you shouldn't, and, vice versa, know when to fold and when the odds are in your favor.

- The next two tables show the probabilities in 5-card stud with one wild card. The first table is for a partially wild card that can only be used to complete a straight, flush, straight flush, or royal flush, otherwise it must be used as an ace (same usage as in pai gow poker). The second table is for a fully wild card.
- The number and probability of a royal flush alone is 4 and 0.0000015. 3The error in the sum of the probabilities is due to rounding. In similar tables to come, the symbol. will indicate the same thing.
- It looks like you're trying to calculate the odds of flopping a flush, not a flush draw. In this case the odds of the events all happening is a multiplication of the odds of each individual event (11/50.10/49.9/48 so 0.84%) OP is asking the odds of flopping a flush draw, so 2 suited, one unsuited out of the three in all combinations.
| Drawing hands probabilities | Odds | Percent |
|---|---|---|
| Double wraparound straight draw (e.g. hand: 9-8-5-4, flop: 7-6-x) | 0.48-1 | 68% |
| Wraparound straight draw (e.g. hand: 8-5-4-x, flop: 7-6-x) | 0.67-1 | 60% |
| Straight flush draw | 0.84-1 | 54% |
| Hitting a full house with three pairs | 3-1 | 24% |
| Hitting a full house with two pairs | 5.1-1 | 16.5% |
| Hitting quads with a set | 21.5-1 | 4.5% |
Starting hands
You have a flush draw on the flop with 9 outs. You will improve it on the turn: 9.2=18% and real poker odds are around 19%; You have a straight draw on the flop with 8 outs. You will improve it on the turn: 8.2=16% and real poker odds are around 17%; You have two over cards on the turn with 6 outs.
There are many starting hands in Omaha (16.432 if not all suit combinations are counted), which makes it difficult to get an overview. Table 2 will hopefully increase that overview a bit.

The best Omaha hands are less bigger favorites against an average hand compared to Texas Hold'em.
In Texas Hold'em, common knowledge is that A-A is very big favorite against all other hands. In Omaha, A-A as a part of a hand is far from that strong. In general, an A-A-x-x hand versus a random four-card hand is a 70-30 favorite in average (if all the starting hands that are normally folded are excluded, the A-A-x-x hands will be even less favorites).
Made hands versus draws
A typical feature in an Omaha Hi game is a set against a hand with several drawing possibilities. The made hand will not be a very big favorite (sometimes it is an underdog), so the recommended strategy is to play fast and bet/raise the pot in these situations.
| Situation | Percent |
|---|---|
| Top set against flush draw | 70%-30% |
| Middle set against flush draw | 70%-30% |
| Top set against flush draw + two pairs | 68%-32% |
| Set against wraparound straight draw | 52%-48% |
| Set against double wraparound straight draw | 53%-47% |

Since that many cards are in action, there are often combined possibilities, which makes it hard to give general percentages. A hand with a flush draw has mostly something else, like a pair or a straight draw as well.
