What am I on about? Online poker of course, durrrr ;)

In case you didn't see it, I've got a poll running in right right hand navbar over there, and the question is:

"Which is your most profitable poker variation when playing online?"

Well the votes are in. They've been counted, recounted and were not at all affected by the Bush administration (*cough* Florida *cough*)

Unsurprisingly, Texas Hold'Em is the clear winner (50%), but it is closely followed by Razz (29%), Omaha (14%) and Seven Card Stud (7%.. ooh, spooky).

I haven't been on many poker forums recently, but I do remember there being a huge upsurge in the number of players tinkering with Omaha - mainly because many newbies had no idea how to play, so were leaking cash.

Plus many Hold'Em players are getting pretty good, so the hot streaks aren't coming so easily - why not move to fields anew?

Well, perhaps the same is now true of Razz. I'll be the first to put my hand up and say I have no freaking idea how it works, but luckily I'm blessed with the wisdom not to flutter away my money by trying to learn.

Online poker is changing - the new variations are gaining a foothold. Perhaps a worthwhile New Year's resolution? Learn how to play Razz.
