I recently played PLO. The game is non-standard, but I really liked it. What do you like best ?

PLO is the second most popular game online so I wouldn't call it a non standard game.

The ting I like about it that players are often worse at in than Holdem.

The thing I hate about it is that since equities runs closer it is often a very high variance game.

Have a much bigger bankroll for this game than NLH,

And don't play it if you easily tilt. Because people will be drawing out on you a lot.

Hi.
Of course I like the Texas Hold'em most of all, but sometimes I also play Omaha or Horse.

I'l stick to holdem for now, but am looking foward to one day playing more Omaha.

I always prefer texas holdem but it does not bother me to play the omaha when I am the possibility. The most important thing is to have fun playing poker.

I noticed that PLO gives more action, because when drawing you have 4 cards on your hands. My chances of winning the Bank were more frequent than at hold'em.

between nlhe and plo, i prefer nlhe, but i like the variety that other games bring. i miss playing horse though. i much prefer plo8 than plo though. out of the 3, nlhe>plo8>plo. horse is way up there as well

I prefer Texas Hold'em. I do not like Omaha. For me, Omaha is more complicated than Hold'em.

I'm a fan of texas holdem. Other versions of poker are less interesting to me.

There both great games, but polar opposite ways to play them. In holdem tight is right and being very patient waiting for big hands seems to be the way to go about things. In omaha you can play many more hands because there is so many different possibilities having four cards in your hand, so your basically play way more hands pretty much looking to make a nut hand to get paid. I love both games but i find omaha way harder to figure out and master because there is a lot more gamble in it. The there's omaha 8 or better which is a absolutely crazy game but sooo fun to play. I love omaha.

I prefer Texas hold'em. Whenever I read and watch videos is about Texas hold'em, I rarely play PLO.

I personaly love more Texas holdem more than PLO I had few trys of PLO but i cant fit into that game so i gave up on it

Pot Limit? Prob Texas Hold because I don’t care about Omaha. 😂

I play Omaha on occasion if there are no decent hold'em tournaments at this time

I like Omaha's pot limit better. You can collect more combinations. And more interesting. But Texas hold'em is interesting to me because it is unlimited. If Omaha is unlimited, I'll choose Omaha.

Omaha is significantly different from Hold'em primarily by the ability to bluff large, having a nut blocker. In hold'em, such bluffs work much worse. But in general, these games are similar.

Hello. It's easy to get hooked on PLO. I particularly enjoy PLO-8. For example, I've been playing PLO-8 at least three times a week for the past month or so.

I like more the texas holden, I think to play omaha must be an experienced player and have good bankroll.

I love PLO (Omaha in general) but the style of play has changed rapidly in recent years as it has gained popularity.

Just a few years ago PLO was played in a more deliberate and measured way (particularly in top flite tournaments). Quite recently PLO got traction on TV because it was/is promoted as a wild game. I remarked on this before regarding PokerGo's coverage or streams from the Kings Casino.

They feature wealthy and wild gamblers who frequently plow all in pre-flop and fight for huge pots. This bears little relation to the game I was first attracted to. Some might recall a short while ago content providers would not feature PLO because it was regarded as too complicated and too slow.

In fact Brent Hanks of PokerGo exposed a certain level of ignorance regarding PLO very recently. He both formats the Poker After Dark sessions (which have featured some of the high roller mentioned above) and is occasionally drafted in to commentate, as he was for the British Poker Open in London last month.

After featuring (pointedly) the likes of Leon, Aussie Matt and Rob Yong in a few wild and swingy PLO sessions on Poker After Dark, Hanks seemed confused during commentary for the British Open PLO play.

Surprisingly (as it seemed to appear to him) the players took the game seriously.

I do not like Omaha. I play only NL Hold'em in fact.

I do not like Omaha. I play only Texas Hold'em ! I prefer Texas!

I never tried the PLO but I think the simple NHL or PHL can be boring earlier like the PLO. I play NHL for many years.

For me, NLH. I like how betting styles, patterns, and amounts can determine what someone can have.

Hello how are you? I like Texas hold'em, rarely actually play omaha's but also fun

I hate pot limit omaha but i play it every great once in a while. It's just not my game and i prefer when it's hi lo

NLH for me, and thats only because I stink at PLO. Its too chaotic for me

I started playing Omaha poker, but as Texas Holden is so much more popular, I started playing this game, and ended up liking it more.

I prefer Omaha. I think betting with only two cards is just flat out crazy. I don't enjoy betting with two cards, but I will. Hold 'em is basically a game of hitting top pair and betting. I think Hold 'em is also more difficult online, because more players means more cheating and bots. At least in Omaha I can have a flush and straight draw more often. Then again, that's also why there's more action in Omaha. About a week ago, the Omaha 8 average hand $ was 4 times higher than at the NL Hold 'em tables. I just really don't feel comfortable betting in Hold 'em. This is not to say I won't play Hold 'em, I will play tournaments, but never tables.

I like Texas hold'em more and I play Omaha very rarely

both modalities are very good my personal opinion is the two most attractive modalities to play online

I played a PLO freeroll last week for the 1st time and out of some 200+ players I think I finished 10th? It seems easier, to me, than NLH only for the fact that you have a greater ability to actually see a flop without going all-in (in early blind structures). Going to play another PLO freeroll in about an hour. Looking forward to it.

I play more PLO than hold em. I used to like 2-7 triple draw on PokerStars but no one really plays that game
I can see PLO being more popular

I like PLO better, it is far more engaging but I am far better at NLHE so am sticking with it mostly. One step at a time, I suppose.

Texas Hold´em is what I like and enjoy the most..In my opinion, Omaha is a little bit complicated due to the more combinations the game has..

I prefer texas holdem. I have played at Omaha a few times but I do not like that bet is limited.

Most of my study time has been dedicated to NLHE but recently have started playing Omaha ... I will probably always have a preference for NLHE but Omaha is fun ... it also is a different challenge with more variance ... kind of a wilder game ... and for me it is always fun to learn a new game I get sidetracked by it even, and although I have played it for a while, I am only just now starting to spend time working on that game ... NLHE is much more available and I know much more about it so will probably always do better at it ... so there's that

I play no limit texas holdem, I do not like PLO. omaha if I played and I do not dislike !!! would play at some time !!!

I like play Texas Holdem but I try to study about Omaha too. I want to try play HORSE so I have to know about other pokers too.

PLO needs much bigger br. I think stud is interesting too. Always Hold 'em for me.

I am a huge fan of Omaha, it is the funnest game to play in my opinion. Omaha almost makes Holdem a boring game. If your already playing Omaha, you should try out the Omaha hi low games, they are very fun and my favorite game to play. Cheers, good luck at the tables.

i love playing Texas hold i am not a big fan of omaha anymore when i go to the club to play cash game i am obliged to play some hands because many players like to play omaha.

I like Texas hold'em.I'm not interested in others.

I have difficult time on NLH , understanding the odds , the right calls or shoves , etc . How would it be easier on PLO , ??lol I play very rarelly PLO cash micro , for fun , for tournaments don't even mention it , lol . Very very rarely , and again , only micro/nano stakes andfor fun

I really enjoy PLO and it's the game I play the most next to NLHE. Just make sure you're always drawing to the nuts, because 2nd best straights, flushes and full houses are where a lot of the money changes hands and you want to make sure you're on the high end when all of the chips go into the middle.

I actually prefer Pot Limit Omaha over Holdem myself. I like both dont get me wrong. There is so much going on in post flop compared to Holdem and the combinations of things really is intriguing to see with betting and checks and raises. I fell it is a underrated game even though its popular for the most part of the masses.

I prefer Texas hold them..the variance in PLO is sometimes really crazy

Currently playing and focusing on NLHE but I've played PLO a bit and it seems quite fun.

I would love to branch out later to PLO it seems like a great game just more variance to deal with.

I only play Texas Hold'em at the moment.
However, learning the other variants of Poker would be very interesting. I've played PLO a few times, but I didn't stand by playing this variant.

I fully agree with you, I mean, i'm the same situation.
I only play Omaha on those freeroll tournaments ACR promote, and is a seriously fun experience.

I like good ol Texas hold em, but lately been getting better/ used to having 4 but only using 2, at first it's a lil confusing.
