Omaha hi/low is suitable for me. Math is more than luck.

Omaha is generally considered more difficult and interesting than Hold'em due to its complexity and variance. In Omaha, players receive four hole cards instead of two, which increases the number of potential hand combinations and makes hand reading more challenging. This also means stronger hands are often required to win at showdown, leading to more dynamic and action-packed gameplay. Hold'em, while simpler to learn, relies heavily on strategy, patience, and psychology, making it accessible yet deep. Ultimately, the difficulty and interest depend on personal preferences and playing style.

Omaha is so interesting because of its unpredictability!

Omaha is more difficult to me, I don't really know the game. But sometimes I play it in freerolls, and I like it, it's very fun.

In my opinion, Omaha is a more complex and less interesting game due to the huge variance effect.

I like Omaha hi/lo, but I'm only average at it because I prefer to play Holdem.

I like them both, Holdem is simpler, and Omaha has more complicated rules. So holdem is easier to play and safer. But the difficulty of Omaha makes it faster, you don't need so much time to play. So if I play cash games I play more omaha, but if I play tournaments I play more holdem.

I find Omaha easier and although my biggest wins have been on nlhe, I am pretty sure my ROI is way higher on plo, plo8.
