What percentage of all poker is hold'em?

[Tommy Angelo]

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!
