Omaha is more difficult and interesting, but I like Holdem , easier to learn and play it , omaha is nice to have fun , to risk more

I've only played omaha in some freerolls, so I think I've never played a good omaha game, since there are many players that likes to see every flop.
I don't play omaha for money, because I don't know too much about the streategy of the game.

I think Holdem. I do not enjoy Omaha as I do not think you can estimate holdings in the same way and I feel it has more luck and variance than Holdem.

Omaha has so much more math. much more difficult but at least that keeps the bots away

For me, Omaha is more difficult but I am more interested in Holdem because it is the most played

For me too. But I play more No-Limit Hold'em because it's more popular and has a bigger field.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of free time, so when I do, I only play Hold'em. Other types of poker are also obviously interesting games, but I just don't have time for them :(

For me, Omaha only comes up when I get bored of Texas Hold'em. I know it takes a different approach, but sometimes it's good to play.
It always reminds me of Maverick and the atmosphere that was well portrayed in the movie.

I only know how to play Holdem, I never played the other varieties of poker and they didn't interest me either.

Omaha is a lunatic's game but at least you know where you are on the flop because you are always playing to the nuts.

If you call a raise at hold 'em with a pair of 10s , an ace flops and the raiser bets, you have no idea where you are.

I can actually tell a story, I didn’t know that in Omaha there are no starting hands and my raises were always or almost always all-in, and I often ended up in the money, and sometimes took first place in tournaments in terms of progression and complete ignorance what I do. But now I understand that I was just being led. In fact, this can be compared to Omahai Low, it also has its own subtleties.

Hold'em is interesting for me but Omaha is kinda hard to read others.

Omaha is harder to play because there are more cards per player.

I prefer to play Hold'em. I tried to play other types of poker, but I decided to focus on Hold'em and it was the right decision, because poker started to bring me additional income.

For me, hold em is the simplest and most understandable, while omaha is a bit more difficult, although I know how to play it, but it doesn't really appeal to me.

I prefer Omaha because there’s much more potential to hit the board, which leads to more action and excitement. Plus, the bigger variance means that pros don’t have as big of an edge compared to Hold'em. Honestly, I’d play Omaha exclusively if it weren’t for colluders. Colluders have a massive advantage in omaha variations, to the point where you might have better odds playing blackjack.

I don't think one is more difficult than the other, we just need to have different strategies, as a strong hand in Hold'em won't have the same relevance in Omaha.

Hi
For me, only NL Hold'em is relevant. I also used to play Omaha before, but finding free time to play both of them is just unrealistic.
Good luck :)

Omaha is , by far, more difficult to play.I would only play that variant in freerolls because I don´t want to lose my bankroll.Holdem is easier and more enjoyable.That´s why I play it everyday.

For me, Omaha is more interesting and Hold'em more difficult.
And, just for the record, I love playing Omaha against Hold'em players. ;)
