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.

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:rock:

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

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.

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

- 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.

stud ho/lo

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 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.

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.

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
