I love the game of Omaha, but from my point of view, Hold'em will remain at the top of the pyramid, because its popularity is increasing every day.

I don't think so because I don't think it's popular enough to dominate poker games

It will never happen, too much randomness and too many swings, in a lot of hands it almost doesnt matter what hole cards you have, can almost justify shoving 80 percent of your hands

For me I don't think it is possible, it is very noticeable in the number of players in the tournaments. Omaha's is much smaller.

I really found it interesting to play Omaha, I think it's more exciting, but it will still be difficult to beat hold em for at least the next 2 years, unless the sites constantly implement new tournaments with high prize pools

Omaha is a fun and exciting game increasing in popularity, but I don't believe Omaha will ever overtake NL, even in the next 50 years.

I like the way you think.. any other game has already overtaken holdem long ago for me, there are so many interesting games that a steady diet of one game is so boring. I think most people are creatures of habit and don't like to try new games but it would be awesome if there were more Omaha games👍...

In my opinion not, because Omaha is becoming or more fish players are playing, nucho limper now plays Omaha and what to say if it is a tournament with bounty, there are some players who enter the hand. That's the bad thing about Omaha in my opinion.

I only like Omaha h/l in the game HORSE, not an easy game to play.
Hold'em is much easier and that is probably why everyone prefers it.

I think Omaha has its fans and can be popular in certain circles. However, Holdem is currently the most popular variant of poker in the world.

I think you're overstating people's desire to play Omaha. Texas Hold'em has probably been and will be the top poker game as long as it is. Why, would you say? Because first of all, it is the least dispersive game of all types of poker. It is also the most popular in the poker community. Judging by my experience, playing only Omaha all the time, I still want to return to Hold'em and play there after a while, and on the contrary, if you only play Hold'em after playing Omaha, you don't want to change anything.

I don’t think that Omaha can overtake hold’em in popularity, because absolutely all poker players know about hold’em, and some don’t even know about Omaha after several years in the game, so I don’t see any danger.

I think Omaha will never become more popular than Hold'em. Omaha is a very interesting game, but in poker there is such a thing as variance, and in Omaha it is much higher than in Hold'em. If a player does not have the patience to wait for the variance to level out, then it is better for him not to play Omaha. These two types of poker are completely different. The tactics of the game, the range of starting hands, the playing of hands on the flop and many other factors are completely different in Omaha from Hold'em. Hold'em is a classic and I think it will remain so forever.

I've been playing poker for 20 years and I think Omaha will never beat Holdem, you can see it in the numbers. Holdem tournaments have the highest number of registrations.

Omaha is popular but not as Holdem, Holdem is like the NBA of all poker games, that's because the dynamic is more complex than all other card games that involves high level skill, well in my opinion at least!
