Hold'em is starting to fade a little and Omaha is making a nice run (both regular omaha and omaha 8 or better) but what about the other great games that are out there. Stud high bores me but stud h/l 8 is a great action game and so many players make some of the absolute worst calls that it is a virtual money pit for good players (hence we i have switched over to this game online and doing great at it over at pokerstars). Then there's 2-7 Triple Draw which I have said many times to me is the best game out there today when you play pot limit. Razz is one of my favorite games head's up but is extremely slow at a full table. Of course you can't forget Badugi or Magoogan(sp) as most people I play with refer to it as where unsuited A234 is the nuts.
There are some great games out there but its becoming hard to find good games with people that want to play them. I think that as more people get tired of Hold'em and get busted at playing Omaha they will switch back to some of the traditional poker games and dealer's choice will become popular again soon. I guess it all goes in cycles and now that ESPN showed the HORSE championship last this year, that will peak some interest of more players wanting to return to the basics. We'll just have to wait and see. But for now, let's just keep playing never fold'em hold'em!
