Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Every poker player knows that if Texas Hold'em presents dozens of different possibilities to consider on every street, Omaha amplifies the variance exponentially.
We watched a hand go down recently that showed just how far apart Hold'em and Omaha really are.
With the flop showing 
, one player had raised the pot, and his opponent called while appearing poised to go all-in on the subsequent street.
On the 
turn, however, he check-folded to an all-in pot bet, turning his 
face-up while tossing them in the muck.
With middle set, an extremely powerful hand in Hold'em, this player didn't even have a decision on his hands, knowing that the on the turn most likely delivered a straight or a flush, dooming his set of ladies to second-best status.
