A question for the semi-pros or pros. How many different games (not limits) do you play? I starting wondering about this when a few guys on my buddy list started jumping from game to game (including some that I didn't know how to play). Right now, I am only comfortable playing hold'em (limit or NL) cash games. Just wondering, if I wanted to learn a new game, would you guys suggest learning 7 card stud or omaha? Hi-lo or just high?
I am not a pro or a semi pro.
My home game is NL SNGs.
I am learning how to play seven stud high right now. Learning how to play the first 3 cards is apparently where most of hte money is made, so that makes it nice and easy for me.
Omaha hi and hi/lo is a game of teh nuts. Lots of patience is needed. ALOT of patience is needed. If you think its hard and boring to play tight at Hold Em. Its probably harder to play "tight" in omaha. Granted, I have little experience in that field.
My home game plays a mixture of games, include holdem, omaha, omaha h/l, 7 stud, 7 stud h/l, draw poker, 5 card stud.
Online I play mostly holdem NL, some 7 stud h/l and omaha h/l
You have to learn each game, as they are different, and it takes a while to understand each game, however new games provide a nice change of pace from holdem.
I think that for holdem player the easiet game to learn is omaha high, however as VQ said it is a game of the nuts.
