Message: [QUOTE="dj11, post: 2196924, member: 13851"] More interesting stuff from that book. Remember it was publish in the early 70's. Omaha was originally (according to that book), a 7-stud variant with community cards and not with 4 down cards to start, only 2. Plus the river in that original version was dealt face down to each player.... so 2 down to each player, 4 up community cards, then another down card to each player. Betting as you would figure it to be. In the book, Hold'em is the same as that version of Omaha, except the last card was added to the community cards. There is no mention of it being called Texas Hold'em. Community card games were originally called Spit games, so 7 stud Spit was what that version of Omaha was. Others, like 'Spit in the Ocean' only had a single community card. [/QUOTE]
