Benefits of technology

[0010] An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for playing a poker-type card game which combines the features of limit-poker and / or pot-limit poker and / or no-limit poker.

Problems solved by technology

Omaha therefore lacks the flexibility of Texas Hold'em when it comes to forming a best five-card poker hand.
Thus, the maximum wager allowed in pot-limit poker cannot be pre-determined, as the maximum wager amount is constantly changing depending on how much money was wagered by all previous players.
In pot-limit, on the other hand, it is more difficult to adopt this strategy since it can be far more costly to stay in the game.
Therefore, limit poker, pot-limit poker and no-limit poker offer separate, but intriguing benefits to poker players, while each variation also has certain limitations that may make it less intriguing to different types of poker players.
