I like hold em better only because I’m much more experienced with it, more studied for it that PLO. But PLO is fun!

I prefer Hold’em because I’m more comfortable with the strategy, but PLO can be really exciting and unpredictable. Both have their charm!

There's more gambling in PLO. Sometimes it feels that you lose more money faster. Any random 3 players with any random 4 cards will have some equity to play their hand on the same board. And you lose with aces so frequently, they never hold. You definitely need a bigger bankroll to play hands and see flops. And you need to be strong mentally because you get rivered occasionally because players will continue with their hands because of equities being so close. If it makes any sense to you.

I guess I’m in the minority here, I prefer Omaha. That could be because we play so much hold ‘em. It’s nice to have a change.

Classic Hold'em is always better than any other poker for me.

Is the high win rate in PLO proof that Texas is weak?

I mostly play Hold'em because it's the game I started with and feel most comfortable in. But PLO is definitely more exciting sometimes-so much action and bigger pots! Still, Hold'em is my main game.

Hold’em…I am a fairly patient player, but with PLO, there are many more made hands, so you have to play even tighter than in Hold’em.

Hold’em for strategy, PLO for adrenaline.


Depends on the mood — sometimes I want to think, sometimes I just want action!
