I want to learn how to play different types of poker.

When I first started playing, many poker rooms offered a great range of games. Maybe they just attracted new customers.

You, at least if you are a player based in the U.S. can waste a lot of time waiting for a single table Holdem game to fill up. PLO & others even less popular for get about it. Just the way it is. May not be as bad for those of you who still have access to poker stars. Good luck.

If you really want something, no one can interfere with you.

I played no less than 10 kinds of poker. it was an interesting experience, but without enough experience I can not play these games even at medium limits.

I love Omaha hi/lo the most. Several of my poker sites, it ain't gonna happen because there is no interest to even open a table. I cant imagine Badugi, Razz , and several others having 2 or 3 players. Used to be back in the day that there were plenty of people up for any style of poker. Black Friday brought that to an end.

I confirm, it's always good to play on other formats. you gain experience and this can be useful for CC events.

According to your Cardschat profile you are from Russia so you should be able to play on pokerstars.

Pokerstars is the only site that has a wide variety of non holdem games available around the clock and at micro stakes.

The other sites the non holdem games are very few and most times the buy ins are large and very few players.

Pokerstars has play money games as well as you can setup homegames with a wide variety of games. These are great for when learning a new game as you can play without having to risk $$$.

Even at the minimum limits of 3.30, learning to play is relatively expensive. But for any training you must pay.

Good luck with this. A several years ago there were a lot of freeroll on pokerstars which u could play at many types of game like Omaha, Stud, Razz etc. Heh It was a good time to spent.

If you want to learn how to play other types of poker then why not. If only patience was enough.

Some of the varieties of poker are attractive because some of your cards are open. The player has more information to calculate his odds and outs.

I invite everyone to remember the names of all varieties of poker together. The rule is simple: one person can write only one name for the game.

I think most people like Holdem and PLO better than the limit games. They also tend to get more hands per hr which the casino/site likes.

It's because of the television that show mainly holdem and omaha games.
And personnaly they are my favourite types of games.

Currently I play almost exclusively no limit holdem but in the past I have tried different variants like Omaha, Stud, Razz, Badugi, Horse and 8-Game.

I agree would love some lowball games, like razz or 2-7 draw or maybe horse or 8game. almost impossible for u.s players to find these

It seems that only Hold'em and Omaha are of primary interest to the players.
