consensus on most profitable game type?

[gasoltub]

Is there a consensus on the most profitable game type?
FL, PL, NL? SnG? MTT's? Some kind of Omaha? You name it.

I'm currently only playing limit and my plan is to "master" it before playing any other type just so I don't mix up strategies and concepts while learning.

Yes, I know I won't "master" it in my lifetime [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] But I will continue with limit until I can at least beat 3/6 or maybe even 5/10. I'm currently at 1/2 for ~3BB/100 over 30K hands, so getting to 5/10 will probably take a while [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Should post a poll about this? Or perhaps there is already a thread with the answers to these questions?

I'd have to say 6-max. You will probably find 5/10 full to be pretty craptacular. I'm sure it's beatable, but why bother.

6-max at what level?

[witeknite]

Any.

NL 5-card stud. Off course you never see this spread, as the skill vs luck factor is remarkably out of whack.

Of the games currently spread on a regular basis it's NL hold'em. PL omaha is probably a close second, atleast online.

So what's the reason to play limit holdem? Better game availability?

[Recliner]

Um... it makes more rake for the card room? Less skill involved? The ability to play tons of tables for rakeback?

The highest ratio of win/100 to bankroll size must be big bet poker. Specifically I'm thinking NL holdem or PL O8. This assumes a highly skilled player.

In NL holdem a true wizard will rarely lose. I am far from that level and I managed to pull off a 66 day win streak. If you never have a losing day you don't need much for a BR hence you have a really great ROI.

The fish come back. While NL is having a renaissance it's well worth taking advantage of it though.

most players more knowledgable than myself say P/L O8 is the most profitable game for a skilled player. the reason is that the bad players draw to non nut hands.

cheers!
