NLH is my preference, although I'll play PLO if the games good.

Omaha is a fun game. However, I think, there is more luck factors for the game. Plus, to many cards for my style.
No limit poker is #1.....

Omaha all the way!

Wider range of starting hands, more odds and outs, more spots to make moves (in NL or PL), and a lot more action than Hold'em (IMO).

Great game and there are lots of strategy books on how the play the game available. I'm glad that I found it when I did eight years ago!

I have started playing a little Omaha Hi-Lo lately and enjoy it for a change of pace. I think it makes me think more about the different possibilities, and when I start thinking of possibilities, I think it carries over to my holdem games.

I have tried for years to get the science down with Omaha, and even with it's broad similarities to hold'em, I just can't get it down.

I really like omaha, maybe more than hold'em because there are more cards, and I think that most people would prefer omaha if they played, it's more fun to play. One thing I really struggle when playing hold'em is that I really want to play it, so , sometimes I play with very bad cards in bad position, waiting to hit something, which is not the right thing to do, hoping to win something.

Omaha, by the way, you almost everytime will make a hand if you go to the flop, and on the other side it's harder to know what your opponent has

I personally prefer other modalities, stud or badugi, but between holdem or omaha it is difficult the choice, both have different pro and cons, but if I am in a day that I do not want to think I will stick with holdem.

I prefer to play Omaha sit and go - short and more mathematic.

Holdem , that is what I play 100% , omaha is a game much more difficult , but when I get the chance I play some freerolls . In the past I played omaha cash micros , I was losing , in the future , when I will have studied a bit , I will try again .

I really like Omaha hi-lo, there is such a greater variety of hands that you can play compared to holdem.

I think it always depends on how you're playing to determine your losses i know people that lose a lot when they play 10/20 PLO hi lo 8 just by betting a lot to get the pots big. Holdem can be easier to get away from hands depending on the person too, less hands you can draw to. I find myself getting sucked into hands that i know are probably beaten. It is also harder to put people on hands in my opinion in Omaha.

I know both variations but I prefer Texas Hold'em simply because the Omaha IMO is more luck depended. By holding more hole cards is harder for the opponent to put you in a range.

I play Texas Holdem. I very like Omaha, but it's confused, and you never can be sure of victory. I play Omaha for fun, but Holdem for profit.
And there is a HORSE as well. It's perfect for games for fun.

I play Holdem No Limit mostly, but sometimes Omaha Hi Lo, But I do find Omaha can be a bit repetitive in the way people bet and it can affect my play, I call it Omaha tilt. I make really dumb mistakes when I get in that mode.
