Guest gazza271 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Must admit to my shame I've never really ventured any further than NLHE :$ Who plays any other variants and how competent are you ? Easy to pick up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staffy Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Re: Poker variants Not really. Play Omaha occasionally. Won quite a bit playing live Omaha cash once. Only play it for a change now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robilaruk Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Re: Poker variants bump :unsure anyone ? :sad just omaha and lowball (which I like) I HATE hi/low games - they are for wombles IMO Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Poker variants I must be Great Uncle Bulgaria then I have always been a big fan of Omaha Hi/lo (pot and limit) and more recently Limit Stud hi/lo, so much so that I very rarely play hold em tournies games these days. IMO they are far superior games to NLHE and worth dedicating your time to, as they are easy to learn and they make for a far more interesting game. I have loads of text and training software I could send you Gazza if you were interested in Stud Hi/Lo. I am contemplating still entering next years WSOP stud 8 event, as I missed it this year.

Jaded Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Poker variants I play most variants better than I do NLHE (well, SOMEONE was going to make a comment...), I love Omaha hi/lo and also enjoy 2-7 triple draw and razz as well - just wish there was a bigger variety of tourneys around. Stars is a godsend for anyone wanting to get decent experience in other games, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goater14 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Poker variants I tried a razz freeroll the other night, made a change from NLHE but found the first few levels very slow, and it did,nt help that I was,nt sure if I had the best hand at showdown or not!

msaban Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Poker variants Play a fair bit of razz and been quite succesful this year, enjoy being a womble too with pot limit h/l omaha with less success and only at lower levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Poker variants Must admit that Omaha hi/lo has completely spoiled me from trying Stud hi/lo which is a shame cos I love Stud and Razz. I'm happy to sit and play the large entry freerolls (Stud and Razz) on Stars when I get the chance purely because its the only time you'll play such a big field outside of the WSoP (normally about 2,500 runners). I struggle sometimes with the hand ranking in Razz but have no idea what goes on in triple draw. Saying that I enjoy playing Limit Hold 'Em too, Just to add its easy to slag limit games off as full of fishes but I think there is more subtlety involved when played properly (even I do that occasionally).

NafYepmop Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Poker variants there is a woman I know who lets me poker. :lol Back on subject with a good understanding of general poker theory most games are easy to pick up. I play in a couple of dealers choice cash games and find them to be pretty profitable, as people have no idea about what they're doing. A read of supersystem 2 is a good idea to pick up on some general strategy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
