Omaha hold 'em derives its name from two 🧾 types of games.
"Hold'em" refers to a game using community cards that are shared by all players. This is opposed to 🧾 draw games, where each player's hand is composed only of concealed cards, and stud games, where each player's unique hand 🧾 contains a mix of cards visible to the other players and concealed hole cards.
