First of all are you just talking about Texas holdem or any other kind like omaha and 5 card draw. If your talking about just limits then each of them very. The most interesting is no limit holdem(if your just talking about the limits). b/c you can do basically what you want like go all in or bluff ect. In limit games like pot limit and limit its more of the best hand wins kind of thing. You have to do more thinking on your part with the cards you hold rather then the person your playing as more ppl will fish for the card or cards that they need since its so little.

As of other poker games like omaha and 5 card draw its a bit as the same as holdem but different aswell. in omaha your dealt more cards and are only able to use two of the 4 cards to make the best hand so you will have to do more math and odds on your part as there will be many hands and outs you can make when the flop and turn and river come. 5 card draw basically your old typical game of poker. 5 cards in your hand trying to make the best 5 card hand using those cards. theres plenty of other games like 7 card stud and omaha hi/lo and each have there different style of playing. As for the most interesting one I will say that is just a personal opinion. Some ppl play better and other games as they do with other games so theres really no way to tell. If I have to pick the most interesting one I would say omaha hi/lo or regular omha b/c there are way more ways to play your hand and is a bit harder then holdem. Ihope that helped you.

I find no limit hold'em much more exciting than fixed limit and other limit games because I find the limit poker games seem to drag on a bit if 2 players both want to go all in but they have to keep re-raising and because there is less skill required with limit poker because you can't raise much and can't bluff.

I agree with Elliot, however limit poker does require skill but it also makes it easier to suffer bad beats as people will play less than premium hands as they are aware that there is only a limited amount of chips they can loose and therefore pots comes into play a lot more. Whereas in no-limit its like the saying says 'you have to put a man to a decision for all his chips'.

Personally I think no-limit is like war, while limit is like playing toy soldiers!!
