[B]The Cadillac of Poker: [/B]What are the two main factors that make texas hold'emto be considered the most profitable version of poker, and what is it about those factors that makes it so?
 
One of the factors is the information available.
 
Some games show all but 1 card and some games show no cards. NLHE shows 5 cards but has 2 hidden cards. So what is meant by information available is there is:
1. Just the right amount of "hidden" information to allow for good bluffing.
2. Just the right amount of "shown" information to try and figure out what an opponent has.
 
The other factor is Controlling pot odds.
 
Controlling pot odds is a huge factor in NLHE. Odds are offered in all sorts of gambling. For example, many professional gamblers play blackjack because it is one of the best "ODDS" game in the Casino. They still do not have an advantage against the casino, but they play knowing that there odds are much better than, lets say roulette. 
 
So if we can control the odds in NLHE how great of and advantage is that! Using pot odds "correctly" gives us a huge edge against someone just calling to "hit" a flush, or an over card! Knowing how to control pot odds is "HUGE" in the NO LIMIT game. You can successfully make players play bad if it is done right.
