Hello lp, been lurking for a few months now, finally decided to make an account.
Anywho, Ive been doing pretty well at Limit Hold'em microstakes recently, been able to make a fairly consistent 5-10 big bets/hour on .25/.50 limit FR on stars per table (cant rly handle more than 4). But ive been feeling like branching out.
There seems to be this recurring idea of edges slowly going away in NLHE, and while I don't want to miss out on the most popular form of poker, I don't want to just be doomed to living off of rakeback or what have you.
The only other game ive had some decent success (at the lowest stakes mind you) is .05/.10 HORSE on full tilt.
My question is, would it be a better investment of my time to just stick to limit hold'em, to go ahead and learn how to play Omaha8, stud8, stud, and razz well (rather than just playing tight and capitalizing on ppl who are clueless about those games), or to give NL a try?
One factor I can think of is that there seems to be a lot better poker literature on limit games out there than there is about NL (seems like the vast majority of this forum disapproves of all NL books that are geared towards beginners).

Go for fulltime Omaha, so much free money in that game I hear.
If you are not emo and can handle massive swings that is |

Many people on this site can't handle the NLH swings either, I dunno why they didn't switch to FL  |

From what I hear, swings in FL are not better than NL because often there is nothing you can do to protect your hand.
Anyway, NLH is definitely very beatable and profitable. Whether or not you stick with it as your main game, you should definitely learn it and learn it well. |

FL swings and long term break even stretches are ridiculous. I'd learn NL if I were you. You'll never have more than a 1BB/100 edge in FL once you get to 2/4+. I played (read: wasted) about 200k hands of FL. I'd be so much better at NL if I had applied that to NL instead. |
