If I didn't play No Limit Hold'em I'd play....
Imagine for some bizarre reason No Limit Hold'em didn't exist in the world of poker. Which other version of poker would you play and why? Would you play it because it was most enjoyable or because you think it would be most profitable? Post your thoughts on this thread and let's see which other forms of poker float our boats...
If I didn't play No Limit Hold'em I'd play....Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo.
The game is incredibly chilled in comparison to NLHE, pretty easy to go from beginner to very competent provided to stick to some basic fundamentals in the game, and it's always good to see so many people bomb the pot with A-2 while you have the nut high all wrapped up.

PLO for me, can't handle hi-lo.
Started playing 5 card draw which i'm enjoying. 2-7 draw n badugi just mess with my head, i need alot more reading up on those.
I voted for hi-lo, I enjoy playing hi-lo mtt's notso much playing cash.

Am brilliant at that !!
Ahhh its been a while since i played HORSE could have sworn it was no limit, ill go grab my coat..
£2.25 for the cheapest DYM will put a lot of low stakes players off having a go.
Noticed there are three £1 hi-lo tourneys but they are all in the daytime, when lots of folk are at work.
If they put one or two of these on in the evening, you would probably get more people starting to understand and play the game.
Razz for me have played it a few times & enjoy it
;o)

I assume there can be limit or no limit versions of Omaha Hi-Lo although no limit Omaha Hi-Lo sound like the sort of mental game you'd set up at an SPT event!
I put standard Omaha love the game but variance high sigh
Oh ye of such short memories.
Texas Hold 'Em, as we know it, has only been popular, & the game of choice, for about 10 years. Even the WSOP was Stud until, I think, about 2000, or 2001.
Go back to the 80's & 90's, & Stud, Draw, & Omaha were the primary games, it was only later that NLHE became so popular.
I am sure NLHE will retain it's mass appeal for a while yet - maybe a decade or so - but no way can it survive much longer than that, imo. People are playing it more & more optimally, so eventually the "edge" will get smaller & smaller. Then, another format will take centre stage for 10 or 20 years. Rinse repeat.
Limit HE is also probably the least liked of the HORSE components, meny players actually "sit out" during the Limit hold Em levels.
I think No Limit Turbo PLO Hi-lo bountyhunter, survivor, rebuy freerolls could catch on, with a 1000000 chip add on available at the break for only 56p.:)
I have had some good recent results in this version and pretty soon it's all i aim to be playing online, fallen well out of love with NLH
Still play live NLH of course but really enjoy the Weds night Round of Each (NLH/PLO) at Fox poker club, wicked fun!
