Re: Picking up a new game - Stud or Omaha
The experience of branching out from nlhe to anything else is basically non-existent because nlhe killed everything else. Also, (thanks to the wpt) now poker = hold'em. The dumbing down of america is both on your tv and in your local cardroom.
Players like me, who've been playing all kinds of poker for a long time, are the most irritated by this hold'em bullcrap driving everything else into oblivion.
That being said, since you're on the east coast, the occasional player may remember what it was like before hold'em killed everything, and thus you might actually find a stud or other game.
If you like arguing constantly, and think nits are cool, play omaha-8.
If you like a game with strategy, thinking, and all that jazz, play stud.
And oh yeah, 1-5 sucks, 5-10 w/ 50c ante kicks butt.
