Is PLO more bankroll safe than hold em?

[Sivraj]

I was wondering and thinking to myself is Omaha pot limit more secure and safe with bankroll management compared to NLHE? In PLO you can't go all in unless you and your opponent bet the pot and re-raise in a tug of war bidding war back and forth fighting for the pot. Whereas in NLHE you can just literally shove all in. What do you guys think?

i don’t think there’s much difference there. It depends more on the buy in levels than on the game you play. If you don't want to play a game where you can just go all in then you can also play other limit games. if no limmit holdem is nothing for you then you can also try limmit holdem. There are many ways to find limmit games in other variants. But to be protected against an allin too early does not mean that you protect your bankroll better. You do this by paying attention to how much you are wagering from your bankroll.

I think it is safer to play holdem, although it depends on which mode you are more used to

Two completely different games, two completely different bankroll management. Then again it two totally different games in tournaments. PLO is a game on its own. All in villains, are far and few, sounds like someone’s calling 4 bet shoves from KK\AK/AA

Personal, amateur opinion:

Completely different, and definitely not more secure or safe by BM compare to holdem. Simply if you just see the variance factor is wilder in PLO, so obviously need higher BM and count on wilder swings. I like to play PLO only for fun, because there is more action (tried it seriously, driven me insane, so that's not my game), but that's the only positive thing what i can add compare to Holdem.

each has a strategy

each one has a strategy and I like to play holdem because I get a good hand and I see that I'm winning I hope they page my allin because it will be more profitable than limiting myself with a good hand, for example.

No, your bankroll is not safer in PLO. This game is so swingy and although it is Pot Limit there are so many situations where the pot will becomes huge, even on the flop because several players could have great hands on the flop. In many situations all the money will go into the pot before the turn or river because you have to gamble with a huge draw or you have to protect your nuts on the flop. PLO is a rollercoaster ride for your bankroll.

This is the cold-blooded truth! You can't help but to think if somebody has pocket aces or a guaranteed set it definitely is a rollercoaster.

PLO is a higher variance game than NLHE. However, most players are more knowledgeable in NLHE than PLO. Variance can be reduced PLO to NLHE if you feel have an advantage of PLO knowledge over the average player

hello . nothing is safe in poker, but if you can control your bank a little more if you play pot limited

 

[pavel1111111]

my opinion not, because it is much more active than holdem and often bets the whole pot for any draw

 

[padman400]

PLO is a bank roller coaster. Your NL bank is a lot safer in my humble opinion.

 

[TerryBLE]

Several players with 4 cards behind the most diverse combinations ... So far for me Holdem has been more "safe" even NL (I believe that the required bankroll for PLO is also bigger)

 

[olfabiolo]

if cash is not very good, tournaments are good, but there is much less

I think omaha is a more complex game than hold'em, with four cards in the hole, it is easy for newbies to misread his hand, and because there tend to be intensive actions in omaha, players can get lost in the game quite often , so it is a dangerous game.

 

[flattershay]

I think it's exact opposite. PLO has more cards and hence, bigger chance to make a hand even with a "bad" starting hand.

pot
limit yes but on the other hand the game has more variance.

Bankroll management does not depend on the type of poker. Since these are the rules following which you play based on your capabilities.
