What it means at the table

Pot-Limit Omaha gives each player four hole cards, but every final hand must use exactly two hole cards and exactly three board cards.

Why it matters

Most beginner mistakes come from forgetting the exact-two rule or underestimating how often four-card hands connect.

Decision checkpoint

Ask this before money goes in

Table question

Am I using exactly two hole cards and three board cards?

Rule of thumb

Exactly two from hand, exactly three from board; every evaluation starts there.

Table example

If the board has four spades but you hold only A♠, you do not have a flush; you need two spades in your hand.

Leak to avoid

Reading hands like Hold'em and using one hole card, three hole cards, or four board cards.
