What percentage of all poker is hold\'em?
 

Hi. Not sure where to ask this. In your opinion, what percentage of all hands of poker played on earth these days is some form of hold'em? This means all hands of poker on the internet, B&M, cash games, tournies, and home games. Out of every 100 hands, how many are hold'em?

I would guess 95%. Do you think that's close?

The reason I'm asking is so that I can write in an essay, "The smartest people in the world told me it was such and such percent."

Thanks,

Tommy

tommy i think it is more. the internet swamps lives tables in terms of hands played so id have to go with 98% or even 99%

I'd guess its significantly lower.


Way too many dealer's choice home games.

Earth? Less than 95% I'd say for sure, in Ireland and from what I understand a lot of Europe Omaha is a more popular game. Don't forget Tunica where PLO is big and in California mixed games with weird stuff is common too.

I'd say about 85% due to all the online hands. Obviously that's a random, absolutely uneducated guess.

I now officially am one of the smartest people in the world. I knew it all along, just had to have someone back me up!

Re: What percentage of all poker is hold\'em?
 

Because home games are included I would say 80% or so. Games played for dollar stakes or more, probably 90% holdem. I don't know what % of hands played are online though.

Here is an interesting fact: At the Tunica World Championships, The HORSE event (which should be the ultimate in playing mixed games), when the final table was formed the format then changed, and they played nothing but NL Hold 'Em. So the 9th to 1st player's skill in playing a mixed game format was determined by Hold 'Em, your skills in ohmaha, stud, etc., just got you to the final.

IMO, based on some analysis of ring games, roughly... 60% NLHE, 30% LHE, 5% PLOM, 5% Other (including PLHE, and other forms of Omaha, etc).

Are you talking Limit, No-limit, Pot-limit? There are different games, you know....hehe

The speed of online poker and Hold'em and popularity of Hold'em makes this number above 90%. This is coming from a player who played 10k/hands of Stud this month.

My vote doesn't count since I'm not among the smartest people in the word, but, 90%.
