hey...assuming you are the best at every form of poker, and you have a $1,000 bankroll, which one would you be playing to make the most profit?

I would say NLH is most profitable form of poker .
But still it depends upon person to person , some one might like LH or some may like PLO.

I don't know so much about PLO but i seems to be a urban legend that this game is so profitable. every 2p2er says that and there are only a handfull of tables at stars. where does the losing players there come from?

I'd be playing at the one I felt I had the biggest edge over my opponents in. Personally, I've studied NLHE the most, and know this is my greatest edge, so that's what I currently play. If I put some time and effort into PLO, that may become my most profitable game, so I'd move there.

There is no blanket answer for everyone. It's a self balancing system. If a certain game becomes disproportionately easier for some reason, it won't take long for good players to move in and reset the equilibrium again.

I would personally say the stud games are where the edge is biggest against the fish. Particularly hi/lo and razz where the number of pure idiots is very high. Your problem comes from finding higher limit games.

For a $1000 roll beating up the razz and stud hi/lo tables is fairly simple for a solid player.
