H.O.R.S.E. Poker - Online Poker Game
Introduction
H.O.R.S.E. poker is actually a combination of many
different poker games, with the word HORSE being the
acronym standing for these games. In HORSE poker players
will have to play hands of these games: Texas Holdem,
Omaha, Razz, Seven card stud, Seven Card Stud Eight or
Better (also known as Seven Card Stud High / Low).
Poker is actually a collection of a family of card games
that involve betting. These games share a common set of
rules with variations over different games. One of the
popular forms of Poker is the H.O.R.S.E. poker. It is
sometimes known and called colloquially as horse poker
but in actuality it is an acronym for Hold ‘em, Omaha
Hi-Lo, Razz, 7 Stud and Stud Eight or better, which are
some offshoots of the original Poker game. The game can
be played as an ordinary house play or as a casino
tournament. There are various famous tournaments being
held both online and in casinos for this game.
HORSE poker can be quite intimidating to a new player.
The rounds changing after each button rotation,
switching from flop games such as Hold'em or Omaha to
Stud games such as Razz, blinds versus buttons, and
bring in bets can all add up to more than a little
frustration for a player still learning the game(s). If
you're new to HORSE poker, here are a few tips that may
help your transition into the game.
The easiest way to experience the assortment of games
played in HORSE is to dive right into a low limit game
and play it yourself. That said, it's important to
maintain your bankroll because without that there's no
chips to play with! How do you manage to accomplish this
without going broke? Simple, just remember the saying
"tight is right" and play a very limited range of
premium starting hands.
HORSE poker didn’t really gain that much recognition in
the early years of poker. Poker professionals tried to
mix in a number of games to add more fun and challenge.
However, the HORSE game suddenly became a hit among
poker players when it was introduced in the 2006 WSOP in
event #20. Getting in the game was pretty expensive:
$50,000 for a buy in. That’s why only serious players
joined in the game and showed their prowess in their
overall ability and familiarity in different types of
poker. It’s now dubbed as a type of game that can
actually bring out the best poker player in the world.
