Dramaha 49

Dramaha's shape, chasing a target points total of 49 instead of a low hand.

Forced Money

Button and blinds.

Deal Structure

Five hole cards, a three-card flop, one draw round, then turn and river.

Betting Rounds

Small bet preflop and on the flop, big bet on the turn and river.

Showdown

Pot splits between the best Omaha-style hand and the closest points total to 49 (aces=1, number cards at face value, face cards=0) — four tens and a nine is the max possible, which is where the name comes from.

Worth knowing: The one variant on this whole list where the "other half" of the pot isn't a hand-ranking contest at all.
