Fifty fifty seems more interesting for me.. but I am not sure.
What would be your answer?
Gimmick games like 50-50 tend to foster different strategies than standard play, so I wouldn't choose 50-50. Instead, I would focus on building strong fundamentals and examining my play to learn where my holes are before moving towards games that require me to change basic strat.
The problem with games like 50-50 is that they require you to think differently and play differently than you would in normal games or tournaments and those skills may not be directly applicable to other styles. IF you're looking to play better poker it wouldn't do you any good to choose a game that you wouldn't find elsewhere. If you get really good at 50-50, you are basically stuck at any 50-50 games you can find and there's not many of them outside of Stars.
Just my 2 cents. Good Luck.
