What game offers the greatest positional advantage?
Local casinos in my area have started offering fixed limit dealer's choice games, and I'm trying to figure out what I should be choosing to gain the biggest advantage. You can choose any community card game regularly spread, like Hold'em, Omaha, Pineapple, etc. I've never played in it, so I wouldn't mind a list of commonly chosen games either.

I don't if it's the biggest, but the positional advantage in PLO is pretty sick for sure.

I have to say Omaha, it feels like a punch in the stomach to be forced to play a big pot OOP in that game. Not that I've played a lot of different games to compare with.

Re: What game offers the greatest positional advantage?
Clearly, the worst choice is games like stud where betting position is determined by cards.
The best choice is hands where your hole cards give you a lot of information early. In Hold'em, for example, position is very important because good pocket cards give you a major advantage, and you know 5/7 of the hand by the second betting round. Position means less in Omaha 8 because there's less difference between good and playable hole cards, and crucial information often comes on the river (for example, a third card 8 or under). Triple draw is a good choice, as jipster says, less for the betting advantage than the draw advantage. But you had limited the choices to community card games. |

I've never played crazy pineapple, but it seems to me that games like holdem are extremely position dependent. As AaronBrown pinted out, there's less of a difference in good and playable cards in O8B.
