Online Poker Forum - Not sure what to call it

Horse has every game type but Omaha HI. Have no idea what you would call a mixed game with every game type available.

whats peoples thoughts on a mixed game type that has everything horse has and Omaha hi?

I would love the challenge off it but not sure many people would like this format.

If Full Tilt would add draw-format games, you could have something like the Stars 8-game rotation, although in that rotation, the Omaha High round is played pot-limit, not fixed limit.

i have no idea what to call it but ashore might work lol Not sure what the a would mean though.

I like "ohares", could drop the o and say i'm playing "hares" lol . Maybe pronouce it has "oooo hares" lol

O = Limit Omaha Eight or Better (Hi/Lo)
h = Limit Hold�em
a = Limit Omaha Aces or Better (Hi) ?
r = Razz Poker
e = Limit Stud Eight or Better (Hi/Lo)
s = Limit Seven Card Stud

airport in chicago called ohare i believe, i'm not convinced on names lol but think the a would be good for omaha hi.

I'm sure I've heard of HOARSE before. I dont recall whether it was legit or a joke however.

The recent update (mid-July 2009) added "7-game mix" which is HEROS+NLHE+PLO.

I *love* it.

Those that are too aggro in NLHE/PLO (where it "works") often keep playing as bluffy in the limit games (and thus can be trapped).

And yet, those are too tight-weak in the limit games often check-fold too easy on scary flops in NLHE/PLO, even when it's a big pot.

So that's why I love it.

bonus: often the games are short-handed, and a lot of people don't know how to play the limit games short-handed (without being spewy or too tight-weak).

Thanks, FTP, for adding this! HORSE was getting boring...

You can find the occasional limit omaha hi tourney at pokerstars, but that game is deader than 5 card draw. Not quite as dead as 5 card stud though.
