My personal preference has shifted from Hold Em to Omaha. Been playing for little over 3 months now and I can’t get enough! What’s your favorite rendition of poker?

I play NL Hold'em, as I initially studied strategies for playing this particular type of poker. I also tried to play Omaha and I really liked it. Most play Hold'em, as there is much less material for learning Omaha strategies.

Holdem is much too simple...

But still love the game! I lose all the time... : )

Omaha? Sure. I play that too...Make sure it's either H/L or High only. Verry Important!

Thanks for listening.

..bluff..

Warning: that's a slippery slope! Next you'll be playing 20 game mixes with me.

I have so many favorites, but Stud 8, 2-7 (triple and single draw as well as the Dramaha variant) are my favorites.

Holdem as I have a better intuition for it (my intuition isn't that good anyway:p)

I used to play only Omaha because I thought that the more cards, the more combinations and chances of winning, but now it's easier to play only hold'em

Holdem is my favorite modality although I usually play omaha hi / low sometimes, I think that in omaha the variance of the game is more complicated than in holdem.

I like both games. Of course it is much easier to play Holdem, online as well as live with friends. But Omaha is a game, which is pretty entertaining and I would like to play more Omaha again.

I prefer Holdem. I've been playing for over 10 years, and I actually only play Holdem. The game brings me pleasure and regular profits, so I don't see the point in changing anything.

True; Holdem has been a lot more easier for me hence the need to challenge myself. So far I’m in the red 😂

If you like O8 then try Courchevel Hi/Lo - it's like playing O8 with superpowers.

Agreed I’ve started losing hair after a number of bad beats 😂😂 … stress and anxiety come with the hobby that is poker.

My favorite is PLO8. I like tournaments more so than cash tables though. The rake on the cash tables can hurt you if you're splitting pots heads up.
