I'm playing a little play money omaha hi here. It's like a huge bingo haha. I must be missing something about he rules though.
Anyway, the guy with the Ace of hearts, why doesn't he win the hand with an ace-high flush since there is 4 hearts on the board? Someone help me out please...

You have to use two of your cards, not one. Regardless of what is on the board, without exception players must use three cards from the board and two from their hand.

Oh craps! Thanks. I thought you used the whole board with 2 of the holes. That complicates things a bit I suppose. ;)

No problem. I made that mistake too when I first started playing because I was so used to playing NLH.
