Omaha or Hold Em?

EvertonGirl · Nov 18, 2021

I like both, but as I haven't studied Omaha enough and there's not enough freerolls for Omaha to practice with, I prefer to play Hold'em

I used to run Omaha in my home game on PS, I may start to do that again so I can practice that way again

I must admit I enjoy playing Omaha, but the general consensus is towards Hold-em, you can get a Hold-em game going a lot faster than registering for a Omaha game where you could be waiting ages for a table to fill up.
I also like Stud and 5 Card draw games, but I still cannot handle Hi-Low games, it is bad enough having to split the pot when you are both holding the same hand, but splitting with a player with the worst hand still annoys me.
If you need more practice playing other formats of Poker, try using Play money, or find a site where you are only playing for points as with Facebook games. but be aware the game will always change when playing for real money, it's inevitable.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Hold-em is great. Omaha Hi is good. Omaha HI/Low is o.k.. Studs are bad, danger and I play it only with play-money.

Holdem is my main game, Omaha I also like to play and I've had a few tournaments won (I think it's easier to knock out bad players in Omaha)

I know that feeling. Yesterday, a player who has 50k chips 3 times manages to get out on the river with a low hand. And then all in with my 2 pairs of AK and both draw and a chance for a low hand I lose half the stack from his set

I've always focused more on Hold'em, but I would love to play Omaha. It's a sport that gives you more emotion, there will always be action and aggressiveness, but at the same time it's a dangerous sport for those who don't have experience and play for real money.

Vivaly · Nov 18, 2021

I play Hold'em, but I love Omaha Hi / Lo. And now I liked Fusion - it starts according to the rules of Hold'em, and continues according to the rules of Omaha.

Bambini7777 · Nov 18, 2021

Omaha and Hold'em are my two best games

kobra80 · Nov 18, 2021

I prefer NL Hold'em. is easier

jason2626 · Nov 18, 2021

There two different skill sets, I like them both but I would have to lean towards holdem I can play for days and days,

10gerka · Nov 18, 2021

first I started playing in holdem, I liked it a lot and I always have good results, but now lately I'm playing in omaha, there is a lot of action all the time, and although the variance is tremendous, always in the long run I come out positive and that's good, it is a totally different game to holdem, you must be well concentrated and study a lot, although it will always depend on the levels at which you play, so I would recommend always study the game well about three months to just start playing at the tables of real money, luck to all.

BussinessSox · Nov 18, 2021

Love them both equally

I will say when I'm running good in hold'em it's the greatest feeling . But when I win a tourney in hi low or makes me feel like a actually have a brain and more patience than I realized. I welcome the challenge and fun of all 3 games.

ga25x · Nov 18, 2021

I actually love PLO more than NL, but i play 98% NL. PLO variance is to high for me to play it more often. And when you play PLO, u can play less tables comfortable, coz it needs more concentration.

tra1mp · Nov 18, 2021

When NL gets bored I switch to Omaha, it helps to switch.

Swat1197 · Nov 18, 2021

Hold for sure

Bitra1 · Nov 18, 2021

Holdem 4 ever

MrPokerVerse · Nov 18, 2021

Going stay with Holdem. Enjoy the game and it is enough for me right now.

63burner · Nov 18, 2021

hold em for the win, omaha for variance reminder..

Prefer NL hold em, not as many crazy variances. I do like to play Omaha. Playing Omaha opens your eyes to all the combinations, etc that can occur in any poker game. In Omaha there is almost always somebody with the nut card(s). Four of a kind isn't that much of an outlier.

Medina · Nov 27, 2021

For me, Omaha is complete chaos. I only know it on a basic level but it didn’t win my liking.
It’s very stressful for me because there’s always the opportunity for someone to show you a better combination on the River.
In contrast, Holdem is right for me, it’s simpler, faster, and has more tournaments out there.
Due to time constraints, i expand my knowledge of holdem rather than omaha.

DifferentHaX · Nov 27, 2021

my .1 .2 cents

PLO is addicting. starting hand/3-4bet ranges compile a whole new set of dynamics and bluffing only works in very few spots/boards(your opponent reps a flopped nut straight but flush complete on riv=bluff spot)
hold em bluff game is more sophisticated as top pair top kicker can be the nutz heads up, so repping hands in ur range vs acutal hand takes precedence.
I love plo but boy is it kicking my bankrolls ass right now. careful playing long hours vs regs.

ppartizan2 · Nov 27, 2021

I dont even know how omaha is played,dont know the rules,number of cards that are dealt,practically nothing.I love holdem mostly because its a pretty straight forward game,and pretty easy to understand.

YYfourU · Nov 27, 2021

I prefer omaha for cash games and Hold em for tournaments. Find Omaha tournaments are to bingoie to win or place at. Easy to take the chip lead, hard to not tilt holding it.

StuLovesLemons · Nov 28, 2021

NL Hold’em

Lena M · Nov 28, 2021

Hello.
I prefer Holdem. I've been playing for more than 4 years, and I also can't get enough. Every day I find something new and interesting for myself in my favorite card game. I think I will play poker for the rest of my life.

ChubbySin · Nov 29, 2021

No limit Hold em, simple and complex game at the same time.

maroca06 · Nov 29, 2021

A game I like and should have freeroll is BADUGI.
