Hello sharks, which type of poker between PLO and NLH do you like the most and why?
Omaha is my favorite because its the game I crush the most and because the extra hole cards make the game more complex and i love it.
It's a matter of taste, there are people who are better at PLO and another at NLH, but I prefer NLH because it's easier to learn and put an opponent in a hand, and I get the impression that bad beats occur more in PLO that NLH.
I like holdem, but every now and then I also play Omaha and now at poker stars they have taken on the fusion which is a mixture of the two. But with a huge variance since most of the time two or more players are already all in on the turn.
I like playing both of these great games. Most players avoid trying out new things other than the NLH they are used to, so I think that's why PLO is less popular. In PLO it's easier to make decent hands so less people will try to make bluffs. NLH is more limited in that sense. Most of the time the flop will determine how strong your hand is. But of course it's not limited to pot.
All in all they are two very different games even though they are paid with the same set of cards and similar set of rules.
