Hey folks,

I am curious to know which type of Poker do you usually play for Cash games online? Is it NLH or Omaha? Does it change when it comes to Tournaments?

In my case, I usually prefer NLH, even though I have given it a try on 6 PLO Tournaments.. 😁

I get frustrated when I play NLH constantly, and then try to switch to PLO—it’s really tough. PLO has too many variations, and there’s that fear that my opponent will always have a stronger hand than mine. Sometimes I play it just for fun, but I usually stick to NLH, which is what I know best.

I play PLO8 the most, .... also PLO, like HU or 6max for NLHE sometimes😎
Sounds great. May I ask what kind of hands do you usually start pre flop for PLO8? Also, I would like to know if you would be playing more than 1 table simultaneously?

Same here bro. I would also stick to NLH the most. While giving my luck a try on PLO once in a while. In PLO what I personally feel is that, your straight on flop could be overrun with a better straight on river on turn by someone else, so does with boats.
