I would start with Hold �Em because it easier to keep track of where you�re at with your hand strength. Two cards is definitely easier than four. Also I find that players misread their cards a lot of with Omaha so it can get frustrating if you�re not used to it.

Hold'em is the game for less experienced players.

Not only is the game simpler in Hold'em the play is less aggressive. In recent years Omaha and all its variants have increasingly attracted players who like to gamble - at the lower levels it is hard to find a game without several players playing and raising every hand (which it would appear you might have experienced). Its coin flipping.

Learning Omaha is a valuable tool, but use common sense. Teach yourself the game using play money on a site such as PokerStars. If you can stomach the madcap play and learn to relax, pick your moments/hands, you will find it a beautiful game which will also enhance your Hold'em game.

There such shots come across Which poker is better for a beginner Holden or omaha?

It can please As for me, in Omaha, there is more chance to play an agressive player, since there constantly come combinations

I played Omaha yesterday and didn’t understand why we divide by sex when my hand is stronger. I have a full house He has a couple.
And I noticed that this is not the first time that way, either I’m stronger, or he has a clean floor, these are all-in cases

Hold'em is easier to start with, less cards, less to keep track of and more information is available online.

If you can learn hold'em you can learn omaha as many of the concepts are the same. The big thing though is the combinations of cards, in omaha there are so so so many possibilities that it is easier to get confused and thus starting with 'simple' hold'em is best!

Holdem of course.
In my opinion omaha is a bit harder to understand then holdem.
So i think holdme is better for beginners.

Played a couple of days in Omaha and realized that there is nothing difficult if you play at the same table. But if there are a lot of tables, then there is no time to combine the card, I think you understand me Which poker is better for a beginner Holden or omaha?

For a beginner, Holdem is the better option by far. The game is easier to learn, easier to play and easier to beat.

Omaha is notoriously swingy - look at Phil Galfond's challenge against Veni Vedi. Phil stuck more that $900k before clawing it all back. Not suggesting you're playing $100/$200 PLO, but it is an example of how even one of the best players in the world can go on a 45 buy-in downswing in PLO. In holdem, that is virtually unheard of.

Holdem will be easy for beginners. If a complete beginner learns to play omaha first then they will be completely confused of understanding the game and for example they will forget that they are playing their 2 cards of the 4 cards that they are dealt.

For beginner, only hold'em. Omaha can be confusing, when f.e. you see on table A A A A Q and think that you won with KQJ10, and suddently guy with 2257 takes the pot. I am not beginner, but sometimes I need to see on the replay, why guy had better hand than me. Its not obvious like in Hold'em.

I think texas holdem is still the best, both for newbies and experienced players, in what I see in poker rooms newcomers always prefer holdem because they can handle 2 cards better than 4.

Holdem is definitely simpler to get a grasp of the rules with. In holdem each player only has 2 cards and you only need to keep track of these small amount of Cards. Versus Omaha where each player has 4 cards each.
