LOL! Seriously, this is one of the most hostile forums I've seen.

I have my ideas. Just asking for some other opinions in a place where I thought I'd get some. Guess not...

Pot limit omaha is probebly the eaiset game to make money with. I seriously read a guide on how to play, started playing online and was up in 5 minutes and never looked back.

Its so much eaiser to make decisions in omaha than it is in holdem.

The most difficult game is definatly 7 card stud. There so much going on, and if you have a large table of players, it can get quite crazy trying to calculate your outs.

The again, any community card game is eaiser.

FWIW, I think O/8 is a good choice. You can obviously talk about knowing when you might get quartered, and often having to fold second and third nut hands.. I think you're on the right track.

O8 sounds good to me, and so does limit Omaha, since a novice wouldn't realize at first how easily it is to get sucked out.

The most difficult form to learn to play well might be Stud 8 since you have so much to keep track of between trying to put others on hands and remembering folded cards.

I think experts have a bigger advantage over novices at pot-limit games vs. either limit or NL. Fish make bigger mistakes than they do at limit, and can’t take away the experts post-flop skill by pushing like they can at NL. And PLO8 is probably the most complex pot limit game.

So I’d say one of those two.
