PLO or NLH?

#1 July 10th, 2020, 6:14 AM

Which is better to play ? Personally I love omaha because you never get bored .

#2 July 10th, 2020, 11:25 AM

I play them both, and really enjoy in both of them. It�s all depends on my mood, so I can�t really say that I prefer more one than another. Lately I play lots of omaha h/l, but NLH is always there

#3 July 10th, 2020, 2:07 PM

Love PLO but I suck at it.

Yeah PLO is hard game to win at but is very fun to play always.

My favorite game is PLO 5 cards, because it’s so much fun and always have a lot of action. But most of the times I play NLH because I have better results.

#6 July 10th, 2020, 11:41 PM

I play NL Hold'em and also never get bored. I mostly play in freerolls, so I prefer NL Hold'em. I have almost never seen Omaha freerolls.

#7 July 10th, 2020, 11:43 PM

I rather PLO but the PLO8 can get confusing at times trying to figure out how they won the low. Lol.

Of course, the tournament variety isn�t there for Omaha so definitely play more NLH.

#8 July 10th, 2020, 11:43 PM

A good Omaha player earns twice as much as a good Hold'em player. Just becoming a good Omaha player is two times harder than a good Hold'em player.

#9 July 11th, 2020, 3:36 AM

I play mostly NLH. Although PLO is fun but still hard for me because there are not many good books or other documents so I just play PLO when I feel boring in NLH.

#10 July 11th, 2020, 4:15 AM

NLH always, Omaha we play little here.

#11 July 11th, 2020, 11:46 AM

I like both.
NLH is more aggressive, has more bluffing.
PLO is camler, but there are too many combinations...
They said NLH is more difficult to play)

#12 July 11th, 2020, 5:11 PM

NL I like it more

#13 July 11th, 2020, 5:29 PM

I like to play it both, If hold'em is only unlimited, if Omaha is better than pot-limit, unlimited Omaha is much riskier

#14 July 11th, 2020, 5:32 PM

Personally, I like Omaha No limited! This is the theme!

#15 July 11th, 2020, 5:35 PM

I just like no limit holdem, that's what I play. I don't like Omaha.

#16 July 11th, 2020, 5:50 PM

I play both, but you have to concentrate more at Omaha

#17 July 11th, 2020, 6:45 PM

I love both. But the fact is, there are more serious tournaments in Holdem.

#18 July 12th, 2020, 5:51 PM

i like Omaha and Omaha 8 just like holdem you need to play the good hands, AA or KK without connecting cards are not good to play you need to get your mindset that this isn't holdem. keep the pots small because people will call down to the river because that is where the hand is won most of the time it can get frustrated losing on river when they had nothing on flop don't bet big that's where everyone loses most of there chips or money unless you have the nuts that cant be beaten on river. gl all

#19 July 13th, 2020, 7:13 PM

I prefer both ��

#20 July 13th, 2020, 7:17 PM

I like them both, but I prefer NLH because it is simpler and there are more abillities in the game. Omaha is more specific and more limited. NLH is more exciting and its simplicity makes it more interesting!

#22 July 14th, 2020, 3:37 AM

Hello.
I prefer NL Hold'em because I have not learned to play other games.

I agree. If I was a poker god, Omaha would have more players than no limit hold'em. Hold'em is far simpler and more boring compared to Omaha. But in this world - the simplest game wins.

#24 July 14th, 2020, 8:18 PM

PLO is interesting to play but I chose NLH

#25 July 14th, 2020, 8:36 PM

Both games are very good! I play depending on the mood. For example, if I feel like I'm in tilt in Hold'em poker, then I start playing Omaha. Or vice versa

#26 July 15th, 2020, 3:18 AM

Right when I started playing card games I only played Omaha but after I met NLH I was in love with him without a doubt NLH

#27 July 15th, 2020, 2:05 PM

I�ve started playing more Omaha h/l, it�s much more difficult to predict having a winning hand compared to hold em.

#28 July 15th, 2020, 2:33 PM

Love PLO, as you said you never get bored of it and its nice on the side with a slow holdem game, especially when its with low blinds and you have a big stack
and sometimes no action happens at all for a good amount of time while you are getting decent hands,
Put in PLO you get action pretty often i would say almost every 2-3 hands ?

while we are on this topic. How do you feel about PLO hi-lo ?
I like it aswell to play in ko tournaments, those ones go pretty quick aswell i must say.
not a big fan of the 5 carded version though, you?

#29 July 15th, 2020, 3:00 PM

Both. Plo is better for multitasking.

#30 July 15th, 2020, 3:41 PM

NLH for sure. PLO is a total luck. NLH is 50% more unlucky than Omaha. In the Omaha there a lot of outs for everybody, every hand. 90% of the cards are in-play, if you are playing MMT tournament. Omaha is good for play only Hi/Lo. There you can win 75% or 50% of the pot in the most of the hands. Also, The players in that kind of tournaments are are not so many and you can play your style of the game comfortable. The blinds levels are good in the most of the the tournaments. There are rarely Micro Omaha Hi/Lo tournaments.

#31 July 15th, 2020, 4:19 PM

Like some others I prefer to play PLO as to me it is more of an exciting game. Like the options online of planning just Omaha , 7 card stud Omaha and 7 card H/L. Just enjoy PLO more then NLH .

GL ALL! PLO or NLH?

#32 July 15th, 2020, 7:51 PM

No limit Holdem is the game i like and play. I tried PLO few times but it is not my game.

#33 July 15th, 2020, 8:49 PM

NLH for me

PLO has too much variance

#34 July 15th, 2020, 8:53 PM

I love PLO8, but there are no freerols at ohl PLO or NLH?

NLHE is much more popular.

#35 July 15th, 2020, 9:44 PM

I like both types of poker. There was a time when Omaha was my favorite. I prefer to play Holdem right now. I agree to the maximum, I�m never bored in Omaha!

I prefer nlhe over omaha but in freerolls both are fun sometime i play omaha just fer a change

#37 July 15th, 2020, 10:26 PM

I love to play both ways .... in omaha there are mad variants for which it is sometimes more entertaining. Good hands.

#38 July 17th, 2020, 12:05 AM

omaha has so many combo possibilities, it is way more interesting.

#39 July 19th, 2020, 10:44 PM

I prefer Omaha as well as there is so many more variables to it. I prefer pot limit omaha myself. But I do play both as well.

#40 July 19th, 2020, 11:57 PM

I play both, but I play more in NLH

#41 July 20th, 2020, 1:51 PM

I started with NLH because it was the most popular among players on every online poker room I was registered with and that's why I play it more.But it's too bad that there aren't really many Omaha tournaments nor interest for this variety because it can be interesting to play.I play NLH very often and sometimes I do play Omaha,but,then again,Omaha can get annoying sometimes with bigger straights and full houses and that's probably why more people prefer NLH.

Yes all those cards you get make it very easy to make hands postflop

Totally agree it's way more complex than nlh

Not a fan of split pot games they are very tilting when you run bad.

#46 July 25th, 2020, 12:20 AM

I like Holdem but Omaha has a good potential to be a profitable because most of the players are still don't knon how to play it properly.

#47 July 25th, 2020, 5:02 AM

i'm not big omah but in the meantime i try. but rather NLH is the favorite
