Texas Hold'em is a fairly obvious game and not as fun as other poker variations.In second place is Omaha, it is quite dynamic and unpredictable. But there are other varieties of plker that are rarely found in different poker rooms, such as razz, stud, badugi, horse,pineapple poker and some varieties of draw poker, I'm interested to hear your preferences in such games and in which rooms you find the game.

It's an easy access, big growth game. You can learn the rules easily, grow quickly, but the last step is so difficult. I think that's true for all the greatest games, easy to learn, fun to grow in, impossible to master.

I would rank Pl08 as my fave, ... really like hilo or lowball games so love Badugi, Stud8, Razz,

really love HORSE, ... like Omaha a lot, ... loved playing crazy pineapple back on Ultimate Bet back in the day,

... probably my least fave are draw games, really don't like any that much except Badugi,

not sure who invented 72 triple draw but I am sure they had a cruel streak lol,

not too many places left to play most of those games except pokerstars👍

I also play Badugi. This type of lowball came to us from Korea. Unlike Hold'em or Omaha, it does not have a rich history. However, Badugi tournaments are already held at major series, including the wsop.

I only play Hold’em and Omaha, but I still give the edge to Hold’em — it’s naturally my number one game.

If I don't play to earn money, which I rarely do online these days, playing the same poker variant no matter which one gets boring pretty quick.

I still don't understand why mixed games rotations like 8-Game or H.O.R.S.E. don't have a bigger player pool online (almost none in cash games).

If you want to switch between a lot of different games because it's more fun and interesting, there's almost only play money left online.:confused:

Personally, I like mixed games like HORSE. Because they keep you on your toes and test different skills. And I also enjoy Badugi since it is rare and requires a completely different mindset.
