Omaha is very similar to Texas Hold'em it uses the same three card flop, 4th turn card and 5th river card as community cards. But instead of texas holdem's two hole cards in Omaha you get four.
In addition a player must use two of their hole cards with three of the board or community cards. At the showdown all four hole cards must be shown to win the pot. Unlike hold'em it is not possible to just play the board as your hand must contain two of your hole cards.
The betting is the same as in Hold'em.
Variations like Omaha High / Low split, 8 or better. The players must use any combination of two holecards and three from the board to make the best high hand and another or possibly the same combination to make the best low hand. For a qualifying low hand, a player must have 5 cards 8 or lower with no pair.

Flushes and straights can be used for the low hand so long as all cards are under 8 or below. If there is a qualifying low hand it splits the pot with the winning high hand, if not the high hand takes the pot.
