| I've also found the weakest players in RAZZ. It doesn't take a genius to play this game against complete idiots. I think I'm above average in all of the other games except limit hold em. I just hate the structure of this so much compared to NLHE. |

Also, please understand, I'm not asking for what you think your best game is. While that may also be the answer for this, I'm looking to see what games people think they have the biggest advantage in.

Initially I was leaning towards Razz, but since that's the most popular answer, I realize that's not so (i.e. there is a noticeable improvement over the last 9 months when it comes to how well people play Razz, at least after 4th street)
So I now made my choice, and it surprised myself: Stud8.
Because countless people limp then call a complete OR EVEN A RAISE/RERAISE with an 8 or 9 upcard. I mean, seriously, what could you have where you can see 4th so obviously behind? And so very often I see a brick high on someone's obviously low start and they still call 1 or 2 bets on 4th, wow... not to mention how often a rainbow, unconnected 2high+1low starter sees a showdown with like 2pair nines up or something.
WAY easier to scoop in Stud8 than in Omaha8 (at least, at HORSE tables/tourneys... play a Stud8 table and that's not the case nearly as often). |

Easier to get a multi-way pot going. |

coming from NLHE ... i was a bit surprised how weak my Hold'em/Omaha games were. i play prettty tight in those games. Holdem i've developed a pretty good strategy that works for me and that is only playing hole cards that have nut straight/nut flush draw potential. other then that i play every other hand pretty cautiously. even if i get pocket aces... if any draw comes in i'm check/calling for a cheap showdown
omaha i have a lot of work to do.
the stud games i do very well in - surprisingly cause i never play stud. but if i continue to dominate these games in horse i might move over exclusively. |
