Hold em or PLO ?

What do you prefer ? Hold em or PLO ?

dannystanks · Oct 3, 2025

I like hold em better only because I’m much more experienced with it, more studied for it that PLO. But PLO is fun!

fernandovr · Oct 3, 2025

I prefer Hold'em , but I enjoy playing PLO from time to time for variety.

Mantinhoo · Oct 3, 2025

I prefer Hold’em because I’m more comfortable with the strategy, but PLO can be really exciting and unpredictable. Both have their charm!

There's more gambling in PLO. Sometimes it feels that you lose more money faster. Any random 3 players with any random 4 cards will have some equity to play their hand on the same board. And you lose with aces so frequently, they never hold. You definitely need a bigger bankroll to play hands and see flops. And you need to be strong mentally because you get rivered occasionally because players will continue with their hands because of equities being so close. If it makes any sense to you.

Holdem of course

I also like PLO but my first preference is Texas Holdem.

padman400 · Oct 3, 2025

Bored with Holdem so just starting to play with four cards. Might be fun.

I guess I’m in the minority here, I prefer Omaha. That could be because we play so much hold ‘em. It’s nice to have a change.

I prefer to play Texas Holdem, but I also play PLO for a change.

Rookworst · Oct 4, 2025

For me is holdem, I never played plo myself need to learn that first

Classic Hold'em is always better than any other poker for me.

Is the high win rate in PLO proof that Texas is weak?

MK_ · Oct 5, 2025

PLO, more fun, more money👍

I mostly play Hold'em because it's the game I started with and feel most comfortable in. But PLO is definitely more exciting sometimes-so much action and bigger pots! Still, Hold'em is my main game.

Hold’em…I am a fairly patient player, but with PLO, there are many more made hands, so you have to play even tighter than in Hold’em.

Hold’em for strategy, PLO for adrenaline.

Depends on the mood — sometimes I want to think, sometimes I just want action!

aajfilho · Apr 21, 2026

So far I prefer Hold'em but I am liking PLO more and more.

andron205 · Apr 21, 2026

I'm only going to lose in Omaha, where it's much harder for me

888NOX888 · Apr 22, 2026

I vote for no limit Hold'em.

NLHE all day long!

In PLO, hand equities converge, creating more opportunities for skill advantage. Pots are often larger, and play is more active due to four cards in hand.Higher variance. Requires excellent hand reading skills, as you must use exactly two out of four cards.If you like mathematical precision, popularity, and clarity, Hold'em is the better choice.

Holdem forever

Mag_P1e · Apr 22, 2026

Hold'em, of course, without a doubt. I can't imagine anyone enjoying a game where every hand on any board has 40-50% equity. It's some kind of masochism.

I prefer hold em everytime.
