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.

do you just rotate the games every hand or something?

I think they were rotating games every 10 minutes.

I still don't understand hi/lo games 
This would win hi and lo right provided no1 had a boat because you can use the nut flush for the hi and wheel for the lo?

yes
oh and the best low goes from hight to low hand so
75432 beats 7632A
Posted Wed Nov 02, 2005 8:16 pm GMT by supafrey
to add to the confusion, lowball games (2-7) are completely different.

Yes - And if you didn't have the flush, the straight could play for high.
Omaha gets a little tricker as You have to play 2 of the 4 cards in your hand for low & 3 from the board. Same goes for high. You see beginners with a board like K K J J 2 - They have a K in their hand and think they have a boat, but you HAVE To play 2 cards from your hand. So you would need KJ or J2 or 22 or K2 to have a boat. Same rules as the low stud - The low hand has to be eight or better to qualify for low. Sometimes Omaha is played High only - As I think it is in HORSE.

I've just started playing stud hi/lo and omaha... they are a real nice change of pace. I'm starting to get the hang of them.
