They must give more time bank in Omaha especially in tournament.In Omaha you must use 2 of your 4 hole cards (no more, no less) to make the best 5 card hand. So 2 cards from your hand, and 3 for the community cards, or 5 cards on the table. Many beginners in Omaha mistakenly think that can use only 1 of their hole cards, or 3. That is not the case. You must use 2 out of the 4.
I hope that helps answer your question.
Check out this article: Pot Limit Omaha vs No Limit Texas Holdem Poker
The descending order probability changes for 5 card vs 7 card vs 9 card poker
For 5 card the probability matches the rank order (straight flush down to high card).
For 7 card the probability does not match the rank order
i.e. 1 pair is most probable followed by 2 pair followed by high card (then it reverts to matching the rank order and 5 card poker)

But for omaha the probability for trips seems to change dramatically according to the only probability table I could find for 9 card hands

Is this correct?
3 of a kind has a probability of only 0.04
whereas straight has a probability of 0.14 (0.12 + 0.02)
so straights are much more likely than trips in omaha?
Why do they not change the hand rank order to match the change in probability so trip would beat a straight?
In british 3 card brag a straight beats a flush. This is because a straight is less probable than a flush in 3 card brag
I could play NL Poker, i could predict the opponent. but its hard to predict the opponent in omaha.
anybody could help me how to read the opponent hands???
because many time i thougth i had a good but when showdown, they always had a better hand me.
