Both games are staples in poker, but they play very differently.
Hold’em:
• Fewer starting cards = simpler decisions
• Easier to read ranges
• Smaller edges, tighter play
Omaha (PLO):
• Four hole cards = way more combinations
• Big hands vs bigger hands
• Swings are larger and edges come from discipline
Which do you prefer and why?
Do you think Omaha rewards skill more than Hold’em, or just increases variance?
