Right now, mine is definitely PLO8. I love having to run with multiple simultaneous strategies.

PLO8 is a great choice! Balancing split strategies adds an exciting layer of complexity to the game.

I guess I play Texas Hold'em because it is always readily available and fairly simple to play. When I started plating poker in 1st year university in 1972, the main game was 7 card stud. What makes stud so hard is that you have to keep track of all the other players' cards, including the face-up cards that are folded. The concentration level is so much greater than for Hold'em.

My two favorite variants are Texas Hold em and Omaha, they're the only ones I really play.

No limit Holden is my favourite poker variant

EiXT · Jan 25, 2025

I played NL Hold'em the most over NL Omaha, so it's definitely a top for me.

Only recently I got into other variants like PLO8 and 7-Card Stud - Hi-Lo, playing more would probably rank them up for me, I just have yet to understand them completely. 😅

Definitely Sit and Go in the DoN format. Unfortunately, this format is disappearing and fewer and fewer poker rooms offer it.

yuriko oyama · Jan 25, 2025

hold'em always hold'em.

sibkaz · Jan 25, 2025

Hold'em, Omaha, Badugi...)

Holdem, but lately I'm playing some PLO4.

gloria_marga · Jan 27, 2025

Without a doubt my favorite game is Texas Holdem, in which you can implement strategies effectively and not rely so much on luck.

Hold'em, and recently discovered the joker game, is very funny)

akgross · Jan 28, 2025

My absolute favorite game is Texas Hold'em and its variations! In general, I like Omaha PLO6 now.

monkeytilter · Jan 28, 2025

Not that I play a lot but PLO8 is a beautiful game.
Can't beat heads up hold 'em though for the ultimate test.

My favorite poker variant is No-Limit Texas Hold’em because it offers the perfect balance of skill, strategy, and psychology.

kittykittykat · Jul 3, 2025

Triple draw, twos and sevens are the most desirable cards, and ace is the bad guy.

renisundernet · Jul 5, 2025

Nlh because it looks easier to plan complex scenarios.

rufininha14 · Jul 12, 2025

good old texas holdem

TerryBLE · Jul 12, 2025

NLH, If it were the one I’m most "entertained" by, it would be Omaha.

If it's about me, then my version is Texas Hold'em. Or rather, pko tournaments

Like2Play2 · Jul 13, 2025

HORSE is #1 for me, 8 Game, PLO8, Stud H/L. No time to get bored with those.

martinoni · Jul 13, 2025

PLO5 to me

greenlarrow · Jul 13, 2025

This is poker. It's half a deck in your hands

Poison91 · Jul 13, 2025

Texas Hold'em, and within Texas Hold'em, what I like the most are the bounty tournaments, after the PKOs.

NLHE MTTs FTW. Cash NLHE is too strong with few edges in its current state while PLO is too sensory overload for me, can't think much about strategy when 80% of my brain power is involved in trying to figure out what kind of a hand i hold.
