Omaha also offers a ton of complex strategy to chew on for years.īut it just doesn't have quite the 'je ne sais quoi' of Hold'em. And you'll get a lot of big hands, which is fun.
The rules are simple, the rush of a massive all in will always make for great and memorable moments (win or lose) and the game offers enough complexity to unfold in different layers over years of play. While heavy poker players might get bored with Hold'em after a while (read: 400,000 hands) and make the switch to Omaha, Hold'em is still the perfect game for most recreational and amateur players. Will it ever catch up and become the preferred game for most poker players - either online or live? Well, no.
