Which Poker Games Do You Win At?

POKERYALL · Aug 31, 2008

I know almost everyone these days plays Holdem and NL Holdem, but do you play any other of the main poker games with any success?
I myself play a variety of poker games and have won tournaments in the following games below, ranked in my preference to play order:

NL Holdem
Five Card Draw
7 Card Stud
5 Card Stud ( no one plays this anymore )
Omaha
Horse
Omaha HL
Razz

I don't win........

The one's where I play against opponents who end their sentences with prepositions.

I have found that I do better, at least at PokerStars, in the HORSE & Stud 8 games. I assume that is due to the Hold'em players trying to migrate, but it's purely anecdotal.

I'm still relegated to grinding out NLHE SnG's due to my minuscule BR. I don't know of a site that offers micro tourneys in anything other than HE.

Stars has micros for all the games they offer.

As per the OP:
NLHE (seem to win more at 6max)
7Stud
5Draw
Omaha Hi

Lately though, I'm with jokish... I don't win.

Cash Games:

7 Card Stud
7 Card Stud hi lo
Omaha HL
Omaha
HORSE
NL Holdem
Five Card Draw
Triple Draw 7-2
Razz

MTTs and SNGs:

NL Holdem
HORSE
Omaha HL
Omaha
7 Card Stud
7 Card Stud hi lo
Five Card Draw
Razz
Triple Draw 7-2

These change a bit depending on how things are going, mood etc. I still find limit stud to be most predictable and profitable compared to NLHE, but I am not an accomplished multi-tabler (yet).

North_Bank · Aug 31, 2008

NL Holdem, stud hi/lo, razz, horse

POKERYALL · Aug 31, 2008

At Doyle's Room ( and most other Prima Network sites ) you can find ring games and sng tounraments starting at .09 to .45 and up in NL Holdem, Omaha, Stud and Five Card Draw!

My Best Game

I play really well and win most of the time... in the following poker variations.

Hold'em
Omaha Hi

in either the Ring Games, or Tournaments...

thejuanupsman · Sep 1, 2008

I win more at Razz than any other game. I just seem to have a feel for it and it seems to be the one game that attracts a lot of people who just don't get it. I also do better at Horse and Omaha 8 and Stud 8 than I do at Hold em.

Worst game for me is easily Omaha Hi. It just seems to me like people bet way too much preflop and I can't get the knack of it.

MrMuckets · Sep 1, 2008

I would describe myself as a borderline winner at most of the traditional games, however i have yet to master any of the less well known games like badugi,pineapple, or 2 7 triple draw.

c9h13no3 · Sep 1, 2008

I play NLHE, 7 card stud (both hi & hi-lo split)

ph_il · Sep 1, 2008

Wth is a 'win'?

Ice Wolf · Sep 1, 2008

The only one I win at on a consistant basis is HORSE. I've made money a few times playing Holdem and Omaha HI/LO though.

antizzle23 · Sep 1, 2008

i feel really comfortable in razz. i always know what im doing there.
also in omaha i know what im doing. hi/lo for the most part i feel comfortable but once and awhile i admit i fold too much.
thats my problem in no-limit holdem is that i fold too much.
im also getting better at stud.
but its still my worst game lol

HELLBILLY · Sep 1, 2008

I also don't win. I have bad beat storys a mile long, but that is a different section. So in short, it doesn't matter what I play.

bwrobbel · Sep 1, 2008

I seem to do very well in Stud H/L; I find it very fun to play. It's quick, and I like the limited betting...chips go fast when you're not paying attention. I've done well in Hold 'em tournaments also, and sometimes I get lucky with Omaha High. Omaha more of a risky game than Omaha and Stud H/L. I'm not too bad in Razz either. Gotta say NL Hold 'em is quite fun when you're not stuck with a bunch of donks, though.

pifan · Sep 1, 2008

i do best in war and go fish no seriously i do best in nl holdem the others im still having problems in starting hands and chasing especially in omaha h/l trying to learn tho been doing allot of reading on that hope it helps me

Kottonmouthed · Sep 1, 2008

NL Holdem
Omaha
5 card draw
razz
HOUSE

swood · Sep 16, 2008

i usually find

that NL hold-em is what i normally win at because i have the most experience in it. i also quite like stud.

limit simply frustrates me.

best game

I win quite often at land based games--Hold-em I win never at site games hold-em I win from time to time at site omaha hi lo

nottocer · Sep 16, 2008

ohmaha hi lo

I've won a few freeroll turneys at omaha hi lo No train of luck on any online games. 75% wins at land games 5% wins sometimes at online.

aquadad · Sep 16, 2008

have stuck with mostly holdem but I did advance in one of the PS stud freerolls. Didn't cash in second round though.

juz2swt · Sep 16, 2008

My game is PLO and I play it everyday all day..

Live, tournys, SNG, heads up..

Harthgrepa · Sep 16, 2008

My best games are NLHE, 5 Card Draw, 7 Card Stud. I can't seem to get the hang of Omaha Hi or Hi/Low. Not sure why, I like to play it, but I stink at it.

mozart5 · Sep 16, 2008

besides no limit holdem, razz is the game i win at the most. i like to play the sit and goes and most of the buy in's at tilt. i have played against thejuanupsman many times. he is a very good player. it just seems an easy game to pick up on. and is very easy to fold the bad hands.
