    This is another article in my series on the HORSE games. Stud-8 is a profoundly complex game and yet its precepts are remarkably simple.

  • No Limit Non-Hold'em Games
    Why aren't all games no limit too? I've always wondered this. Why are games like Stud, Stud HiLo8OB, RAZZ or Omaha not played in NL the majority of the time too? I've always wondered this because with hold'em I've always felt like I have a lot more control in NL than in Limit and after logging about...

    I know the logistics and I've played Omaha before... you're dealt 4 hole cards instead of 2, and you have to use 2 of your hole cards.
