The most popular game spread by online poker rooms is No Limit Texas Hold’em but as the various sites fight to be the best online poker room they are constantly adding new games for players to play. The most natural new game to try if you are a Hold’em player is Pot Limit Omaha, a game that is favoured by the high stakes players as it generates a lot of action and pots are often double that of Hold’em at the equivalent stakes.
As both No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha are popular with the masses they attract the better players and there are more strategy articles written about both games meaning your edge is generally lower. However, trying games such as Seven-card Stud, Omaha hi/lo, and Razz, games traditionally played by older, less knowledgeable players, players who are behind the times when it comes to modern strategy. Whilst there are some very strong players in the lesser played games, there are also a plethora of very weak, misinformed players who are ripe for taking cash from!
By far the weakest games on the internet are mixed games, which is where a series of games are played in rotation. The original format of these was HORSE which played limit games of Hold’em, Omaha hi/low, Razz, Stud and Stud hi/low but these have been replaced by the extremely popular 8-game and now even 10-game. The reason these games are so profitable is that players tend to specialise in one or two of the more popular games and then play very poorly or passively during rounds that they are not overly familiar with. To find out which poker sites have mixed games available simply check some online poker room reviews and you should be able to see what games are spread where.
