| Hold Em Is So Yesterday Maybe it's just me, but is anyone else sick and tired of NLHE? Personally I think it has become the most saturated, and down right boring poker game. Everywhere you turn there's another person learning the game od Hold Em. I mean come on is it really that hard? I've recently ventured over to the Omaha PL tables and I think that is where I'll be staying from now on. More action, weaker players, & I've found I actually enjoy the game again. Anyone ever get like that. Just completely fed up, bored to death with a certain game? |

| I will not totally agree with you here. However the game does sometimes get boring, then again I play it way to much. I have recently found myself playing MTT's mainly HORSE, I am starting to like this game more and more. But when it comes to sitting down at a cash tbl Bring on the NLHE baby !!! |

I know for myself, I learned NLHE first, then I transitioned to Limit HE, then to HORSE, Stud H/L, Razz, PLO8, and finally PLO. I enjoy PLO, Razz, and Stud H/L the best. I rarely play NLHE anymore. |

| Yeah I know what you mean it can get boring sometimes. In fact, in August of 2008 I stopped playing poker completely because I got so bored. Then in November of 2008 I had an interest for it and started to play again. I have been playing mostly NL Holdem since then and it seems like the interest is starting to fade. I would recommend playing HORSE as the cure. The mix of games makes it interesting. Another fault of boredom in the poker room is losing. People tend to lose more often when they're bored. |

| i don't exactly agree, but i do enjoy playing other games as well. recently, stud has become one of my favorites. especially at the low levels, the play is awful. razz is also fun to play, but in the end, holdem is a classic, and i love playing it too. |

| re: Hold Em Is So Yesterday poker I still believe NLHE is the Cadillac of poker, but like anything else, if you do it too much, you will get bored with it. That's why, I believe, a good poker player is a well-rounded poker player. If you play PL Omaha constantly, you'll get tired of that eventually, too. I enjoy playing everything. KC |

| I think the first Harrington book explains why NLHE is justifiably so popular. I couldn't put it any better, so here it is: Quote:

| I play PLO sometimes for a little change, and I do enjoy that. But no, I don`t get bored with NLHE. However, I am mainly a tournament player, and there is much more subtlety and interest in tournies, imo. Ring games can get tedious. |

| Im guilty of getting bored at NLH from time to time. Really enjoy 7hl and HORSE over anything. Im definitely not bored of it because its so easy, like someone mentioned above. With anything even if you are great you can always get better. All live games i play are almost exclusively NLH and most online games as well. So i look for any chance i get to play something else. I also believe that playing other games will make your NLH better plus you have more options of games when you do decide to play. |

| re: Hold Em Is So Yesterday poker I love hold'em and do play it most of the time. I tend to play between 40-80 hrs of poker a week...mostly hold'em...tho I do change games on occassion. I don't get bored of it as I multi-table or do something else while playing.....but I do get the boredom factor. Imagine playing it live and being card-dead....now that's boring |

| Holdem is my favorite game, but i do agree other games are sometimes more fun to play like PL omaha it can get very interesting, although i believe theres more luck involved in it and more odds to think about. |

| nlh I know losing at nlh sure gets boring,lol,but the last table sure is exciting.I recently played 7 card stud and thought I wouldnt like it.,but I did pretty good and it was more fun than nlh.So if your bored try something different,you may like it better. |

| I started out playing 5 card draw then wandered into 7 card stud. Variety is the spice of life. I did well playing Razz. Kansas City low ball and a few others just to give NLE a break. I know how you feel about getting bored with NLE. Maybe take a vaction from it....or take a vacation from poker for a bit. This shouldn't be a job, ya know. |

| Getting bored while playing is part of the game, until you get to the hand that gets you back into things...However, I do agree that omaha is a more exciting game, it keeps your attention more than NLHE and you're right in saying that most people aren't very good at it. |

7 Stud lies right in the middle of that 'sweet spot' too, imo. Two in the hole, 4 rounds face up and a last hole card. Lots to see and not see, plenty to think about. 'Plenty of deductions'? Think of 7th street as the river card in the hole ... YOUR hole card that nobody else has or can use ... |

| re: Hold Em Is So Yesterday poker In my experience, losing streaks make me bored of it, winning streaks make me interested again. Simple as that, no matter the game... I just do not see how one could possibly get bored with a game that is making them money, therefore I would have to say that getting bored with a game probably means your losing at it |

| I am sick to death of Holdem. I love horse but now I am getting into Badugi and 2-7 draw. I lose a lot of money at PLO hi-lo but I enjoy it. When I have a low bankroll I have to play Holdem to get it back up. Poker stars has an 8 game mix and I love that too. |

| perhaps u've played too much and thus the boredom towards NLHE? imo, there has been too much emphasis on NLHE the past few years and that could be the crux of people getting bored of NLHE. The trend now seem to be NLHE ---> PLO. Limit games aint suitable for tv, PLO being the next most exciting game for tv, could be the next big thing, provided they change the games of the WSOP ME to PLO + get a Moneymaker No.2 |

| Most other games besides NLHE are too difficult for your average donk. Im talking more live poker than online, even still theres tons of bad players on pretty much every game thats isnt nlhe. I just dont see anything but nlhe ever becoming the main game of the future, anything else just doesnt make good T.V to the average stupid human. |

| i find anywhere below 9 tables boring as hell, they have to be turbo too or ADD owns me. and as for live poker, great game if you're tired and need a little nap, just tell the person next to you to nudge you awake in an hour when you get the next hand. |
