What style do you prefer to play the most? Omaha 4 cards or Texas?

I like Omaha but I don’t play it as well as I do Hold’em. It’s trickier for me to remember that I have to use 2 (and only 2) hole cards.

I play more Texas-style, but I like both.

Texas. However, it is possible I am just too lazy, to learn Omaha better.

I started playing PLO in the ACR freerolls, and at first it was a nightmare, but now I can play regular PLO tournaments with positive results. I'm starting to enjoy the game, especially HI/LO.

I prefer playing Texas Hold’em, but sometimes I enjoy playing Omaha too

Omaha games whether 4/5 card reg or hi/lo is way better than holdem because you have a bunch of holdem players that have ABSOLUTELY no clue what the'yre doing thinking omaha is like holdem and play it like holdem and they do the silliest raises and plays that show they're holdem players lol.

Those games are 100% flop games and these ppl do the silliest omaha rookie mistakes. Can spot them a mile away. omaha games all day long with the holdem players.

If you can only choose between these, then Texas Holdem.

I haven't fallen in love with Omaha simply because I do not get it as much as NLH , not good enough , variance kills me , I shove phenomenally with the best hand only very easily to lose on the river with omaha4 , 4 cards is more complexed . I lack the necessary knowledge to e good at Omaha .so I stick with the easier NLH . But Omaha is funnier if you don't care for profits do much , like when I play nl2 just for fun , but for sure for me it's money at the fireplace

I've tried both, and while each has its own charm, I have to say that Texas Hold'em is my go-to game.
Why? Because it's a great balance between strategy, psychology and patience. Each hand tells a story, and small benefits make all the difference in the long run.
Omaha, on the other hand, is total chaos, full of action and randomness. It's fun, but for constant decision-making and psychological challenges, Texas Hold'em is where I feel most in control.
Both games are great in their own way, but when the cards hit the table, I'll always go with Texas.

I prefer Texas Hold’em, but I also like the other variant — it’s just harder to win with premium hands like AA, QQ, KK, or AK.

It’s fun to play Omaha or mixed games but I love hold em the most. 7 Stud is fun also but they don’t play that much in casinos anymore, it used to be the game to play back in the day.

I usually play Texas, I would say because of habit and also because of the fact that I got to know poker because that modality is what I like the most. I played Omaha a few times but I didn't like sjsjjs that much.

I am a player who loses frequently due to variance. Omaha has much more variance; it depends more on luck. Therefore, I always choose Hold'em.

I only play Texas Hold'em and I'm not planning on getting into Omaha.
