Horse Poker

H.O.R.S.E Poker is a popular mixed poker variant. The concept of mixed games is really catching on at online poker rooms. You'll find several mixed poker games today that weren't around a few years ago. The consensus is the harder the game line-up the more popular it is. Online poker rooms are somewhat limited to the number of games they can include in a mixed game by the number of specific card games they offer. Currently the most games in a mixed poker variant is 8. In reality though there are only 7 different games. This is because 8-Game Mix is a mixed limit game, meaning some games are FL and others are PL and NL. Texas Hold'em is played in FL and NL formats in 8-Game. This website is about Horse poker though so let's discuss the rules and strategy for this classic mixed game.

Horse Poker Rules

The first thing you need to know about the rules of horse poker are the games that make it up. Horse poker is not a mixed limit game so each card game is played in the fixed limit format. The rotation starts off with 6-10 hands of Texas Hold'em. I say 6-10 because it can vary from room to room. The next game is Omaha HL, one of my favorite games. This is played for the same number of hands mentioned above. The next in the line-up and likely the most difficult is Razz. Razz is Stud poker where only the low hand wins. Now too many people are good at Razz. The next game is 7 Card Stud. This game is much more popular than Razz so people are usually pretty good at it. The final game in horse poker is Stud HL.

Horse Poker Strategy

Horse poker strategy is really a complicated thing. You must know how to play each of the fives games well in order to be a winner. There are some general strategies that you can use in mixed poker games though. I always like to tell people to take notes on which players play which games well. This will really come in handy going forward. The horse poker community is quite large in general but when you break it up based on the poker room they play at it gets much smaller. This means you'll be playing the same old people all of the time. Notes will really come in handy and possibly help you win a lot of money at Horse poker.
