Finally, hold'em solves almost all of these 'beginners issues'.Also, it is far more difficult than Hold'em, both in preflop hand selection and Postflop gameplay.

Omaha is a bit challenging for a beginner to even understand the rules of using 2 hand cards and 3 table cards.Later, if he wants to improve and be consistent winner, he can learn more. In NL games, a beginner, even not knowing what he is doing, if he bets enough, may bluff and win a big pot, and he will be quite satisfied at that moment.

First it needs to be fun, later it can become a challenge). Beginners don't want challenges (and they are right. Stud games demand far more creativity and logical reasoning. Just after paying more attention I realized how beautiful and challenging they are. For a long time I considered Stud games boring.

Stud games are difficult even for some Hold'em players.

Draw games (specially single draw, like 5-card draw or 2-7) may not be that fun initially, because they are closed games, so there is no information for a beginner, who maybe wants to 'see' action.

Back in 1980s (or 1970s, I don't know for sure), when they were deciding which game to be featured in the Main Event, they almost decided for NL 2-7 Single Draw! Maybe there is a parallel universe in which 2-7 single draw is the most popular game? We will never know. Hold'em has become the most popular because it is the variant of the wsop Main Event, which had a major impact on its popularity, specially after the 2003 boom with Chris Moneymaker getting the main event title (and some million dollars) after winning a $82 satellite.īut this almost was different.
