I'm only plaing Omaha hi-lo at the moment (fixed limit). Definitely prefer it holdem, too much variance and i go on tilt too easily . Omaha hi lo is far more profitable as well and theres less risk. Holdem is just boring, especially cash games.
Holdem is the choice of champions. The majority of popular pro's are holdem winners. Omaha high low does not have the same caliber of competition as holdem. the main reason for this is that any donkey can win at Omaha, while there has to be a special talent to consistantly win at holdem.

what?
how is that? i agree that omaha has much more variance and that you have no premium hands like in holdem, where you are a 80 % fav preflop. i believe O8 needs even more skills for that reason.
and yeah: it would be more profitable if there was more donk in O8. quite easy to beat guys who basically have no clue about the gamemechanics of an high/low game.
I like no limit texas hold"em better then omaha hi lo. i think is is easier game then the another. I like to play omaha too but my favourite game is no limit holdem. Good luck.

I like Omaha high, but dont like Omaha high -lo. I actually dont like split games. Sometimes only house win (when 2 players split pot and they must pay rake). So I voted for no limit holdem. Cadillac of poker, of course.

Iv been playing a lot of PL hold`em recently and been having a lot of fun, seams there is more profit to be made there. Omaha hi/lo not for me but i do love Omaha Hi, still lots of donks playing so an Av player can make easy $.

I'll have to disagree there many world champions play omaha now and since it isn't really studied you can easily find more donks and hava a higher ROI. (It's like playing holdem but 5 years ago when noobody knew much about it). Since there are 4 cards there is more luck factor for some people but since they don't know how to play you could take the REAL advantage of them. I mean donks in Omaha are donker.

). Played omaha too, but didn't like it
