Besides Hold'em whats your favorite poker game to play and why?

I like 2-7 triple draw, low ball. It's pretty fun and most players are especially bad because they don't' understand the game well.

I'm a big fan of Razz 7 Card Stud, which is another lowball game.

I would probably play it most of the time if I could find enough people on the PS SNG tables for it

Pot Limit Omaha, no question ... but learning it has been challenging!

I dont even know the rules to any other game other than nl or omaha, really been meaning to do it though as h.o.r.s.e looks fun, and as with any 'about to be popular' game there is plenty of easy money to be made....unfortunately that money is currently mine - any one know any good strategy links (oh yeah and the rules)

Pot Limit Omaha is the game I really enjoy playing the most, I hope the live action PLO picks up more in the near future.

Seven Card Stud I love to play online, look forward to playing it live sometime.

Hold'em is getting boring, 5 card draw is a good grind online as well.

Tough question Jason. I am going to have to say 2-7 triple Draw as well. It is a great game and you are right about people not understanding it. The new 8-game on stars is great especially for the Triple Draw round. I had one guy berate that crap out of me for "raising then drawing 2." It was great. He was calling me an idiot and saying things like "you might learn how to play the game some day." lol! Funny, I have played more Triple Draw and studied it more than most have studied Hold Em...

Anyway in a close second I would have to say Razz. I guess I just like lowball. As far a least favorite I would have to say straight stud. The game just gets stagnant. I mean, if the players are even somewhat decent then it is pretty hard to get action with a big hand unless it is totally buried and even then it isn't a sure thing. I definitely view my self as an exceptionally well-rounded player but Stud can sometimes just be too boring for me. I enjoy Stud as part of a mix of games but you will rarely find me at a straight Stud Hi table (Razz and Stud 8 are a different story).

As far as games other than poker I really have a big thing for Gin Rummy and Backgammon. Both games require some parallel thinking to poker games and are just incredibly fun to play.

It's Omaha 8/b for me , the game I learned after holdem and it proved to be more profitable . Also found RAzz interesting , but I'm far away from joining the cash games .

Can I add Badugi to my favorite non Hold 'Em games. Just played in my first Badugi SNG and thought the game completely rocked (man)

Badugi is a fun game. It needs to be a WSOP event again. It is one game I will admit I have barely studied but many draw concepts apply to that game but at the same time the suits aspect of the game adds a whole new layer. I think 5 Card Draw (Hi), Badugi, and Chinese Poker are the three forms of poker I havn't read at least one book on. I have studied so many games but Badugi is one I really need to touch on more.
