Is NL Omaha better than NL holdem?

[hookmeout]

Omaha is more complicated and generates lot of action

Holdem

Texas holdem all the way !!

In the beginning I always saw the Holdem more feasible, entertaining and in a way more commercial. Until recently, by chance I signed up for an Omaha tournament, I mean that in the course of the game I was reading a little bit the instructions that was nothing special, but I saw it very good and a great alternative. I tried the Omaha Pot Limit. Very good the truth, although if you give me to always choose Holdem​

I love PLO for the gamble, but that's when I'm running good or have suckered a friend of mine into playing, lol. It's really cool when I play ring game PLO, trny's are another beast. I played one today and my str8 lost to a flush on the rvr... but that's PLO. NLH trny's r great for the endurance and I find I have a better outcome by comparison; kinda like Slayer v Chemical Bros. :rock:

For me, the holdem is more interesting, because I first started playing holdem then omaha.

 

[Goldog]

I’ve been playing both Omaha and 08. I don’t believe in either or. The more games you are proficient at the better. Just be sure you understand the fundamentals and differences.

 

[Dsqtq]

You were right when you said that Holdem is more commercial. It is key of all. Maybe you are the next Chris Moneymaker or someone else, but I don't know any who is popular Omaha player. But if you are one who are playing for fun - it's your choice

I think Omaha is more fun because of having more cards obviously, but most people don't know the intricacies of the game. I think more players still play hold'em so there's probably still a lot more money to be made from it than Omaha or other games.

I have always preferred Hold'em over Omaha. Just my preference. Not being able to raise as much as you want and being limited to pot size is a drag.

 

[vov4ik]

I like the Omaha game more, but it happens that I play both Hold'em and Omaha at the same time, I like Omaha because there’s more fun than in hold'em!

Omaha PLO and hi/lo to switch it up..

. When I feel bogged down with NLHE, I turn to Omaha PLO and hi/lo.
When I switch to Omaha, I have strict bankroll, win/loss objectives. If I lose, it's within a range I can absorb.
One thing unmentioned is: with all the variance with Omaha, it is much easier to be put on tilt.

I am a holdem player. I have played omaha as well. That being said, I do prefer holdem over omaha. Why?? I have a better feel for it than I do in omaha. It's just whatever works best for you. I mean if you are more successful at omaha than I say go with flow. It seems to me though, that the downside to playing omaha compared to holdem is that there doesn't seem to be anywhere near as much action. That being said I prefer to go where the action is. Either way, best of luck in your endeavors and hopefully whichever route you decide to travel be successful at it. Good luck!!

I like both, but I think that there are more players in the Hold`em tournaments, thus larger prize pools. So, Omaha may be the future, but Hold`em is the now.

 

[MishkaZL]

I prefer a classic NL Hold'em. Usually I play in MTT tournaments on PokerStars. Also, I really like the freerolls on 888.

 

[nevadanick]

I'll stick with NL Holdem when I have a choice. Omaha just has too many variables for my taste.

 

[millya5]

Omaha is a hard and incomprehensible game. you think that my hand is a ray .. and you lost .... misunderstood ..... better Holden

 

[Newstyle_1704]

I choose to play holdem because it is a more standard type of poker game and basically most of the tournaments are played on hold'em.
It seems to me that the game of holdem is much more interesting than Omaha, although everyone has his own opinion on this question.

 

[Freeman748]

Playing of Texas Hold'em, Omaha can try as an option in the future :icon_rr:

 

[kelvin22]

Play everything you can

I believe that, since we all aspire to be great/pro players some day, playing a wide variety of poker games can add a lot of insight and give you perspective. As something that may give you valuable experience, i recommend you try any poker game, at least once.

 

[Steve Deeble]

I got the basics down on Omaha but just prefer to play holdem.

 

[animalitymk3]

I think Omaha will teach you how to make better odds decisions. It has helped me calculate the amount of risk in all-in situations. I don't prefer it over hold'em as a way to make money but I think it will help your game to practice Omaha.

 

[animalitymk3]

NL Omaha takes more effort in calculating the risk because of the extra cards. I am reading a book on Pot limit omaha right now to get better.

 

[efranto2286]

I play more Texas Hold'em but Omaha I love is more exciting but less control the game in texas holdem omaha ... you have more control over the game

H/NL O/PL

Every single beginner player to start the best is NL Holdem Omaha is for experience players who already know about the game. I love both game 😊
