"Horse Poker: The Original Mixed Game!"
Horse poker consists of five different poker games! Hold em, omaha hi low, razz, seven card stud, and stud hi low also called eight or better stud (that's what the E stands for!).
Ten hands of each game are played starting with hold em all the way through stud hi low.
All games are played as they normally would be, except the game changes every tenth hand.
During the community card poker games the button moves as it usually would, when the stud poker games begin the button stays on the person who last had it, until the texas hold em round starts.
Since five different poker games are played in horse, it's difficult to master them all!
Best advise: get comfortable playing each game individually, before playing all five at once. Playing each game on it's own will allow you to focus on that game so you can adopt a good strategy.
That way you can knock 'em dead when you play all five games at once!
Also try to spot players who play weak in certain games or just have no idea how to play a certain game.
Sometimes a great omaha poker player will play the stud rounds horribly, that's the player you should get involved with when the stud rounds start. That player will give you more action than they should, which equals more chips for you!
Once you've gone over strategies for each game, you'll be ready to play horse.
Where can you play H.O.R.S.E.?
Numerous poker sites have the game. Stakes start at $0.05-0.10 and go as high as $500-1000 USD.
Live poker rooms offer horse poker.
Tournaments are the most commonly found form of the game, and are usually the only way to play the game live.
Where ever you decide to play the game...
Good luck!
