Omaha is more difficult due to the larger combination of cards. It’s more difficult to hold at the river as multiple straights and flushes a can hit for opponents. Omaha also has more big swings in the gameplay, so you can lose a big stack very quickly.

I find Omaha harder and the variance way worse then Holdem. Tbf I also haven't played much Omaha, haven't studied Omaha much and honestly don't have much interest in Omaha.

Cheers!!!

I am Texas Holdem team, it will always be more agile, dynamic and interesting for me than Omaha.

Holdem in my Point of view is the better game that’s because I am bias. However I feel like there is more skill to a game like Omaha . You have to register more hands in your head . I will always stick to Hold’em !

texas holdem is more interesting for me! due too the variance in Omaha players tend too be more cautious!

I'm working on a therory! that people who play Omaha end up becoming tighter while playing hold'em!

I like Holden more, but Omaha is more fun and difficult, as it makes reading more complicated

without a doubt omaha, is a game with more cards and more possibilities for all players, in texas it is a simpler game and with less probability of someone having hit a good game on the river other than omaha

I am interested in what gives me good results. In my case, it's Hold'em and I don't play other games yet. Although I agree with you, Omaha is a really interesting game.

holdem is probably easier to play, but I love Omaha high and high low. you have to think a little more on omaha.

I often play H.O.R.S.E., so I generally like all types of poker ))
For about 20 years I have been playing all types, including 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Draw...

P. S. And even Razz :D

Omaha has far more variance then hold em and as such you have to carefully pick hands that have flush and straight chances

I personally find Omaha more confusing and difficult. I definitely find it harder to keep track of what sort of hand I have or potentially could have. I typically only play Hold'em as its easier and I find it more enjoyable

To me:- Omaha is more difficult but Holdem is more interesting.

Would like to play other variants more but don't have the time or capacity at the moment.

Omaha is a lunatic's game. Hold 'em isn't quite so bad but anything played at no limit where you can go out in one hand - well, what do you think?

Hold'em is definitely more interesting and promising. I've been playing NL Hold'em for about 6 years now, and every year I feel my skills improving, and this is primarily due to the experience I've accumulated. I admit that Omaha is no less interesting game, but I don't want to be distracted by something else until I reach my goals in Hold'em.

Different types of poker have their own peculiarities, and perhaps advantages and disadvantages. But I play only one type of poker, and it's Hold'em, and I think it's the most promising because of its enormous popularity.

Omaha is more difficult, people often play more loose and anyone can beat your premium hands, but I found more interesting Holdem.

Both NLH and Omaha are fun to play, but I find Omaha to be a bit more challenging to play as there are more chances of winning than losing.
