H.O.R.S.E Poker
H.O.R.S.E poker is a mixed poker variant that offers players of all skill levels with a challenge. A mixed poker game is basically a rotation of separate card games. For example, HORSE poker includes Texas Hold'em, Omaha H/L, Razz Poker, 7 Card Stud and Stud H/L. The two leading online poker rooms offer this game, Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker. Some of the largest poker tournaments use the H.O.R.S.E format but recently new mixed games are stealing a lot of the lime-light from HORSE poker. One such game is 8-Game Poker at Poker Stars. This game includes 8 different games and is the most difficult mixed game to master. Full Tilt Poker has recently started offering 7 Game Mix Poker. This mixed game is the same as 8-Game Mix only without 2-7 Triple Draw. Bothn 7 Game Poker and 8 Game Poker have been extremely successful. The traffic at the tables for these two games now exceed the traffic at the HORSE tables. Check out my poker info page for links to the best poker info sites.
