My favorite game is Holdem +6. I think it's great. There are many fewer cards and the action is much greater. I recommend it to the entire community.

Which is your favorite poker variant, and why? If your favorite is not Texas Hold'em, why do you think your chosen variant is better?

When I played Omaha for the first time it was love at first sight. When I started playing poker playing live cash games with Texas holdem, as it was an almost closed group, it was boring, people would spend 4.5 hours and play 20 hands just waiting for big pre flop combinations to play... When I played Omaha for the first time time, and I saw that it was possible to have adrenaline and much more chances and expectations in 4-card combinations, I never stopped

i must say NLHE is my game of choice because I know much more about it than other games, although I do like PLO occasionally, but I often get tripped up badly. Guess I should study it up!!!

When I started I was learning to play Hold'em. A colleague of mine also played Omaha a lot and had pretty good results and regularly increased his bankroll. I tried, there was a period when I played Omaha quite often, but still, my favorite type of game remained Hold'em.

Hi :)
In addition to Hold'em, I also played Omaha, but I liked Hold'em more, so I focused all my attention on this type of game.

For me, it's a tie between 5 card draw and seven card stud. I love them both. And I really dislike hold 'em.

Five card draw is poker at its finest. Just you and the other players. Being able to read the other player at the table is Most important... That, and having the balls to pull the trigger.

What I like about 7 card stud is the ebb and flow during each hand. Which cards are already gone? How many of each suit of missing? Should I call with ace high? Gotta love it. Better yet, should I bet with ace high? That and 50 years of playing seven cards stud and taking the money and running with it make it my favorite.

NLHE is the all-time favorite. But PLO is also quite interesting for new players like me you can double up or lose everything very fast. Premium poker hands in PLO will confuse you in many situations on the turn and river :cool:

I play Hold'em, Omaha and Badugi. All these three types of game are cool and each of them of course has its own characteristics. But for now, I've focused all my attention on Hold'em, because this type of game is the most profitable for me.

I like mixed games like 8 games, razz, 2-7. In Texas Hold'em, almost all decisions come automatically and sometimes it becomes boring. Mixed games don't let you relax.

I agree 8 mixed is fun, it keeps you awake.
Also I like Omaha hi/lo tournaments.
The other day I played a $1 tournament and lost with 4 x 8 to a straight flush. ☹️☹️

STUD (7 cards) full table for 8 people. I used to play $100 with buy-in tables. With a good rakeback, this game was the most profitable.
I also like Omaha games.

I like to play different variants of the game! Omaha is one of them, because the winner must have a restricted combination, or the hi lo versions of each variant because two opposites combinations can win at the same time. I also like and the lowballs, because the winning hands are the losing hands of other versions. After all these, I think that Texas Holdem is more free in its rules to win and so it has more prospects in the game, so I like it more than the other variants!
