Hold'em or Omaha?

I normally play Texas holdem for tournaments. And for cash games I love playing Pot limit Omaha.
 
I do enjoy Omaha H/L, but i have too much variance/swing in regular Omaha. I prefer Texas Holdem. Especially if I am playing at a table with more than 3 people sitting at it.
 
I prefer Omaha.

I feel there are less "bad beats" in Omaha. Before I get five hundred "Your post has been quoted" emails, let me explain. In Omaha, because of the number of hand combinations against you, unless I've got the absolute nuts, I'm always expecting to be beaten. Therefore when I'm beat, there is no way I could call that a bad beat.

Now in Texas Hold'em, it's just the opposite. The number of times I've expected to win, and failed to do so is ............. well I could go on forever. You only need to look at all the posts re bad beats here on Cardschat.
 
before I hit Omaha there were more tournaments for this game, now there are very few and they are expensive for me. and since I do not play cash games, that Omaha has not played for a long time.
 
omaha

i prefer omaha, but there aren't as many large omaha tournaments available with decent stakes as texas
 
Texas hold em for me. Omaha is fun as well but when I play serious its the good old hold em
 
I like playing Texas Hold'em. But sometimes, to distract myself, I like to play in Omaha.
 
I want to learn how to play well and do not want to waste time on different games, so I only play Texas Hold'em
 
In Texas Hold'em, I only play tournaments, I play cash games in Omaha, I like both Hold'em and Omaha, but many do not like Omaha!
 
both

hold em is probably my favorite and I'm a little better at that than Omaha, but I do really enjoy Omaha as ive played It more, the swings are rough though u can be rolling one min and burnt the next
 
Both games are great Omaha you gotta have a nut hand or draw to continue to do well good luck
 
I prefer no limit hold em but do find it fun to play plo once in a while to mix it up.
 
texas texas texas

im a huge fan of texas holdem, ive played omaha, but i never got into it the same as nlth, so i dont feel as comfortable betting it.
 
Omaha H/L that is a very exiting game. When i have a little money on my bankroll i will join the game.
 
I prefer both but there aren't many omaha freerols so I play holdem most of the times.
 
Both baby i do love hold em but i jus so fun to think of the possibilities
