I usually just play 1/2 six handed, which I know I can easily beat, but trying to advance my game for that specific limit has hurt me when I move to other games/numbers of people. Do you guys think an all around knowledge of other games helps a player in each game, or that omaha/seven/HE are two specialized?

Default Not too specialized.

I don't think they are too specialized. I think if you know one game, it can only help you when you're playing another. Take, for example, Phil Ivey. An exceptional player - he excels in both Stud and HE.

Basic poker theory is inherent to all poker games.

I try to play everything....

Well, I won't play Pineapple or any Razz games... (Yet)

My specialty game is 7-stud H/L (Especially tourneys)
People just don't seem to count the opened cards at low limits....
I haven't ventured into higher limits here but one day.


Pot limit Holdem or omaha are another 2 of my favourites.
Yeah, so I guess I do play just about anything.

To feel comfortable playing SnGs, I would usually prefer to have at LEAST 10 buyins. Not saying everyone should follow that, its just my minimum.
