Stud, Omaha, Hold'em Which game has more skill than luck?

[bob2007]

I only play hold'em, but I'm wondering if stud and omaha require more skill than luck. I don't like luck very much : ).

In the short term, luck wins out over skill every time. In the long term, skill wins out over luck, whether you're playing HE, Stud, Yamaha, or Baseball. Because you have to remember all the stupid cards and recognize their impact on everyone's hand, stud is a little more difficult to play on an expert level (I'll let you know when I've gotten there). There is a lot of short-term luck in HE, because your hand is largely defined by the flop. Stud hands develop more slowly. Omaha hands are frequently wrecked by the turn of a card. What was the question?

There is less room for creative play in Omaha, where the nuts is out there about 2/3 of the time.

rather than skill vs. luck i think theres a place for discipline vs. (basically everything else) in omaha, at least low limit.

and best to splash around is definitely stud i would say.
