Like everything else in life, there are myths attached to poker. Granted, these myths do not include tails of tall, hairy, apes running around the forests of Northern California, or pre-historic sea creatures splashing about in Scottish lakes, scaring picnickers and drinking all their Yoohoo.
Omaha Hold ’em starts with a standard 52-card deck. Each player will be dealt 4 cards face down. In casinos, the dealer never plays. A round disc, referred to by most as the "dealer button", moves clockwise around the table, from player to player, at the conclusion of each hand. The person with the button is the symbolic dealer. This is important because the person with this disc is the last to act during the betting rounds. The ability to act after everyone else has bet, with no fear of being raised, is a strategic edge, thus in the name of fairness each player gets to be the "dealer" in their turn.
