HORSE

Postby Soup_dog » Tue Nov 01, 2005 7:53 pm GMT

Anyone know of sites that have tables for HORSE? I think it would be interesting to play the different kind of games while sitting at one table.

I watched a friend play a Horse Tourney last night on Full Tilt. They don't have cash games though.

A few months ago someone posted about a private HORSE tournament on FullTilt, ten dollar buyin, I think thursday nights at 8, but I could be wrong. You could search the forums for the password since I can't remember for the life of me, but it's around somewhere. Pretty fun stuff, HORSE, though I thought it was regular omaha and not hi/lo, but on FullTilt it's hi/lo.

Hold'em (Limit)
Omaha Hi/Lo
Razz
SStud
Eight-or-better Stud

I love HORSE, but most of the folks I play with are too chicken to play anything but Hold'em. I think HORSE is a great test of overall Poker skill.

I agree. I know there are some players who think the main event at the WSOP should be HORSE.

I love horse. I never play it online as I did not know of any sites that offered it. I have played it in home games before. Fun way to play poker.

I've just started hearing about it and it sounds fun. I love all types of poker so it sounds like a blast. I have a strong feeling i'll be mentioning it at my next home game.

Only question is about Eight or better stud, is that like Jacks or better in 5 card draw?

No, its a bit different.

Eight or better means once you have all seven cards, to qualify for a low hand, you must have 5 cards of eight or better that are unpaired (A2345 being the nut low, 86542, etc.). You can play a different 5 cards for low and a different 5 cards for high.

I think they were rotating games every 10 minutes.
