And it depends on what games are available to you live or online. As a general rule, youll get more rec players try holdem then other variants because they know it from TV or the media. But youll be able to spot the decent folks as your knowledge grows. itll be easy to spot folks like the holdem players thinking big pairs are good in omaha variants. jjj2 lol kk52 Aa74 etc. And if you study one then your understanding of how to play the other will improve as well. omaha by its nature is a flop game so if you want to learn omaha then youll have to consider and really study board textures. just like in holdem. Pot odds, outs combos etc, may be different in one game but you need a general solid understanding of general poker concepts to do well in any variant. Play them both. [/QUOTE]
