What do you prefer and why?

Hey guys!
What do you think it’s the bigger difference between Hold’em and Omaha.
I’m not talking about the number of cards or things like that. For me, for example, the most difference it’s that in Omaha you have to be prepared for better hands!

Because the swings are higher in PLO, you have to be prepared mentally for these swings. It is hard to play PLO if you have problems with dealing with bad beats or losing a bigger amount of money. You have to have a stable bankroll for PLO. And you have to be aware of all the hands that could be possible on the board.

When I'm more relaxed I play Holden and when I'm impatient I play Omaha.
In short, Holden is easier for me.

I think that in holdem luck plays a bigger role and also you don't participate in the pot as often as in omaha

I agree with you guys! And be aware of all the possible hands on the board is really hard in Omaha!

for me, Omaha doesn't really like Hold'em I play with pleasure and enjoy it so I would say that Omaha still needs to develop to play it's not difficult there just people don't see interest in that a lot of people play Hold'em
