Right now, mine is definitely PLO8. I love having to run with multiple simultaneous strategies.

Not a great fan of PLO8 but have been doing rather well at it of late. Stud hi-lo and razz are, in my humble opinion, the only two games in which skill counts for something, but even then you get ridiculous outdraws.

I've always liked playing unlimited Texas Hold'em the most, but maybe later another poker option will be attractive.

Pot-limit Omaha, I agree! It's my favorite variant after Texas Hold'em. But it's a shame that the poker rooms where I play have very few Omaha tournaments. :(

I prefer all variants of poker, of course starting with holdem, but I never refuse a less frequently played game.

I am starting to love Omaha HI/LO - i have tinkered with playing this variant over the years with mixed success but its definitely worth learning another variant, it makes for a healthy and varied poker life!

I only play NL Hold'em. The most polar type of poker has the best selection of tournaments, including various cool weekend tournaments. I'm not really interested in other types of poker at the moment.

Mixed games - the more variants the better.

If I don't get to play different games I get bored to death.

Not to mention that even at the lowest levels people are studying and learning a lot with all the materials that are available when it comes to NLH.

When you play cash games over 25NL you often get very tight games and people who play decent poker.

NLH, Draw, Stud and Limit Holdem are all games I don't mind playing for micro-low stakes. Of course I'm mainly a NHL player and prefer that NLH.

Cheers!!!

There is no doubt about the huge popularity of Texas Hold'em around the world, and many people would rank it above all others. However, each type of poker has its own strengths and weaknesses, and you need to try them all before you settle on a preference.I love Badugi.

Texas Holdem no limit, 5-draw classic. I'm not drawn to other variants of poker, probably out of habit.

PLO8 is my favorite, when I get dealt playable cards. If on a run of non-playable, any variat of omaha is horrible toplay.

Texas Hold'em is gold for me, but after that I also enjoy Omaha a lot.
