Obamaha
Monday, April 21, 2008
Obamaha is played like Omaha with the below CHANGES.
- Once all 4 cards are dealt to each player face down, each player must CHANGE one card by discarding it face up for all to see. The dealer will then CHANGE out the old card for a new card face down to each player.
- Flushes can only be made with black cards (spades and clubs), but you must CHANGE the suit in order to complete the flush. As an example, if you have two clubs in your hole cards, then three spades on the board will complete the flush for you. Black cards gotta work together in Obamaha.
- When a 3 and 7 come on the flop as the first two cards off the deck (must be in that order), this is known as The Bowler. In this instance the game CHANGES to add an "Extra Frame," meaning a 6th community card will be in play. The community cards will come out as follows...three on the flop, two on the turn and one on the river.
- Once you receive your 4 hole cards, including your new changed card, if you hold 2727, you have a RODHAMmer and your hand is immediately a loser. You must lay it down face up for all to see.
Please leave any other suggestions for game changes in the comments section.

Until next time, may the felt be with you.

Any time that a hand is chopped, if one person is wearing an American Flag lapel pin and the other person isn't, the pin-wearer automatically wins the pot.

Yeah, you're going straight to hell for this one.
Now for more "changes":
1) The dealer can yell "CHANGE" at any point in the hand and all players still in the hand have to give their cards to the player on their LEFT.
2) At showdown, any live player can yell "HOPE" and the worst hand will automatically win.
3) UTG is called the "PREACHER" and he can muck any player's live hand at will. -

Just because you've obviously lost the hand, that's no reason to drop out or fold, espically if you are female. You may still be able to win the hand with the help of the Super Degenerates (players who folded early or never got in). We're still waiting to see just how this is accomplished. We'll know by September.

If there is a contested pot, all of the players are given one minute to speak about how they deserve the pot. The Super Degenerates will decide which person gets the pot based on the speech and the dealer will decide who wins of there is a tie.

I don't see why the RODHAMmer would ever be CALLED a loser. Wouldn't the hand just sit there claiming for all eternity that it can still win if only the cards in the muck could be pulled back out and recounted?
