As most sites are mainly geared around Texas no limit hold'em it got me wondering how many variants others know how to play. Are you hold'em only or are you well rounded?

I can play Hold'em, Omaha both hi and hi/lo, Razz, Seven card stud + hi/lo and I'm currently teaching myself badugi.

How about you?

I have recently started to study poker and therefore I play only hold'em. In the future, I plan to explore other varieties of the game.

Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi/Lo, Razz, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, 5 Card Draw, 2-7 Triple Draw & Badugi.

My introduction to poker was 5 Card Draw, which I started playing seriously in the early 1970's. It's now my least favorite variant.

I now mostly play Texas Hold'em, but it's not my favorite. My favorites are Razz and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo. I also enjoy Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo and the mixed games like HORSE and 8-Game.

Once or twice a year, Cardschat organises a monthly series that includes most of the above. It is usually announced in the Cardschat Special Events & Real Money Tournaments section 's and run from the Pokerstars Home Games. It’s a lot of fun.

NL Holdem, Short Desk Holdem (aka 6+ Holdem), Omaha Hi and Hi/Lo, Ananas (Chinese Poker). I prefer these types of poker and play them freely. Razz and Stud - not very good.

I tryed ohama, 6+... but it let me so confused. Now i m just in hold´em. Dont like zoom torunaments too.

I play only holdem. Long time ago i have played 5 card draw and still can do it but holdem is what i like most.

I play poker hold'em and Omaha in other varieties do not know how yet

I can play all kinds of poker that you have listed, including badugi. But I prefer to play Texas Hold'em, I like it the most !!!

Always used to love playing HORSE and 8 game, haven't played either for a while, not sure if many sites offer them these days as a regualr game, we have a yearly decathlon event at CC which covers different types of poker, may be time to start practising again

Competently? Omaha and Hold'em. I prefer PLO to PLO8, and the no-limit version of Hold'em. PLO8 gets frustrating because a ton of pots end up getting 50/50, but sometimes it can be a saving grace as well. I know a few people who only play PLO8 because they can take half the pot (which is only profitable in multi-way pots) and will sit out rounds of regular PLO.

Hi
I play all variants of poker, but my top of the list is hold'em and second is Omaha hi
Than comes omaha hi/lo followed by the others.
Playing Badugi is very intresting too but its not a very common variant.

About NLHE I feel most confident, but I also can play some PLO or PLO8. But for them I really need much concentration, what I rarely have as I am mostly multi-tabling at NLHE.

Competently-over 50% -Omaha and hi-lo,razz,horse.My favorite is razz,

I can only play no limit hold'em! all other types of poker are not very interesting to me

I play only Texas poker, I know technically how to play only Omaha and a few more types of poker. But, unfortunately, I don’t play them almost anywhere. I want to try with friends to add a couple more types of poker to our home game - for a change and, to learn playing them for money. but so far, unfortunately, these are only desires and aspirations. And each time, we return again and again to our everyday and, already so familiar, familiar and beloved, Texas poker.

I think I need to choose one kind of poker. And improve the game in it. And do not spray on other types of poker.

I play only half a year and have not tried to play other types of poker yet. Although I do not deny that after studying another poker, I might like it.

I also really like Chinese Poker, I play Open Faced Chinese poker online.
Have you ever played it irl. It seems a bit difficult to me to play it irl, you need 3 decks of cards and have to count alot.

I play holdem omaha and draw.

Back on FTP i liked HORSE and would play the tourneys when they were available, I felt like i was pretty good at razz/omaha and omaha hi/lo. When i played the horse tourneys all my chips would come from razz and omaha/omaha hi/lo. The holdem section felt like it ended to fast and i would avoid the stud section unless i started rolled up,paired or 3 to flush.. I think the stud was to draw heavy and didn't suit my approach to cards. I would like to play HORSE again but i just don't see any tournaments on ACR.

NL holdem for me , even at this format I have so much to learn , but I prefer it unquestionably . Other poker variant is Omaha hi/lo , rarely playing on the micros for fun . I once had a good opportunity to win a ps freeroll reaching at the final table 6max but didn't play well there , I won a micro with very small field on ACR , but I was extremelly lucky hitting my two/four outs on the turn/river after shoving c*** according to the flop hands So yes , basically for fun Omaha hi/lo , NL holdem I really like

I do well in holdem.
But the more poker variants you know the more you increase your playing skill. They are different but not totally. It's some about feeding our subconscious poker mind.

Also, if you dominate omaha, for example, you can get in good prize pool tournaments with less players on the list.

Best of Luck.

Oh no. I play exclusively online. In my country there are some legal difficulties with the organization of the game for money (Americans are also familiar with it). But there are several online poker rooms online where you can play open Chinese poker cash games and even tournaments.

I have recently joined the new poker site that give freerolls in many of these exotic card games, but I have not seen the sites offering the real money competitions in these. I have learned to play Horse, Low, Stud and some other ones, well even Badugi, but it is hard to say if I am any good in any of them.

I give 100% that many here did not even play these games: badusi, badeisi, Telesina, pineapple (china poker), Caribbean stud, 10-11 games, loball mixed, the clearest game in my opinion is R. O. S. (mix Razz, FL Omaha8, stud8), the game was created on the old full tilt. I'm prefer to play for real money only limit games, excluding the NL 2-7 SD

I play texas holdem only
Others i dont like

I learned how to play Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, and I learned how to play Chinese Pineapple Poker, but I also want to learn how to play Badugi

Pretty much all of them, Badugi being my weakest game. Love to play HORSE....

I like diversity... I think I master enough Hold'Em, Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo.

But when I do multi-variant turnament, I think I'm tight enough in other variant to win more than my share.

I know the rules of everything I play of course...

I really only play Texas hold'em seriously. Sometimes I can indulge in Omaha, the other varieties of poker for me are far, even the rules do not know all.

Hello.
I play poker for about one year and I prefer a classic Hold'em. Now, basically I play in freerolls and SnG tournaments.

I can Do three kinds of hold'em, Omaha, and five-card. Other species do not play me they are uninteresting and may just not delve

Flop all of 1 suit about 5 %, two suited cards 55 %, none suited 45 %. Since the board flops two suited 55 % of the time I think that answers your question.

nice question, to be honest: zero, none
more detailed:
- holdem: poor
- PLO: very bad

I just play Holdem and Omaha, I already play HORSE (Holdem, Omaha, Razz, Stud and Eight-or-better), but I dont know very well, I probably won chips because other players know less. When I first started studying, I preferred to focus on holdem.

I actually mainly play stud hi/lo - I feel the additional information and options makes it more interesting. That limits me to one tournament a day on Pokerstars. Are there other sites that offer it?

I tried all of them, just to try them out. Some are a bit outdated ( 5 card draw) and it's difficult to find action for them. Anyway, the big money in tournaments is playing texas hold'em, that's why I didn't try to improve my skills for the other games.

Most of all I like to play Hold'em. This is my favorite hobby. I try to become a successful player and improve my skills, so I do not have time to play other games.

Besides of NL Holdem i consider myself caoable of playing Omaha(H/L) and Razz poker

While also beeing mediocre at Stud.

Mostly I play hold'em, not bad in Omaha and Omaha hi lo.Tried to play stud but I did not like it.

I want to learn to play at least Texas no limit hold'em. I don't think about other types of poker.

Hi.
I have several options for diversity. Except Hold'em, I also like Omaha, Horse and Badugi.
Good luck.

Competently? Not really any... but I try my best at NL.

NL and omaha hi/lo

I play always holdem and sometimes omaha (once a week a freeroll from my country). When I get to read or watch videos, it's always holdem.

While my best game is definitely holdem I'm not too bad at PLO. And I can hold my own at seven card stud. Not very proficient at the hi/lo stuff yet. And am currently learning 2-7 triple draw

I play only holdem without limit later maybe I could play omaha but for the moment I'm fine like that .. I still can not stabilize myself with texas holdem like to be able to play other ways !!! regards..
