The games that are most like hold’em are the Omaha versions of poker. It’s essentially the same game except that you get dealt four cards instead of two to begin each hand. All the rules are the same as hold’em, except that a player can only use two of the four cards to complete their hand. It’s not an option to use one or three of them; it must be two from your hand and three from the board.

Omaha has many variations including Omaha High, High/Low Split, and Pot-Limit, no-limit or limit. The one that most plays like hold’em is the straightforward version of Omaha High. The common opinion is that the pot-limit version is the best way to play Omaha because the betting is limited enough for players to call bets on draws in hands that they would have been forced out of in a no-limit version.
