Default Re: Do you think there is too much luck in hold\'em?

[ QUOTE ]
Of all the forms of poker currently spread in casinos and online (the exception would probably be high draw, spread on Paradise), Hold'em has the smallest luck factor. i.e., the best hand dealt holds up the most often.

If you think there are too many suckouts in hold'em, don't play stud.

You're talking about two different things. HE hands run further apart than O8 hands, but limit holdem has what I consider a higher "luck factor" because the variance is higher. Winners win more consistently and losers lose more consistently in limit 08, limit omaha, limit stud-8 and NLHE, not necessarily in that order. Razz probably has higher "luck factor" that straight stud.
