I know, but it can be quite difficult for the software to know why a player is sitting out, and you are supposed to be able to sit out a round or so without being punished for it. I think this is what makes it hard to have horse cash games online.

As the levels change, how do the blinds transfer to the antes in stud? Like if it's 5-10 blinds, level just went up, what is the ante in razz?

Good question. In the window for that tourney, click on the payouts at bottom left and the 1st list will have the betting structure with the proper antes listed.

I think all the free-rolls should be in the HORSE format. No one would know what was is going on. Youd have the same loose callers an maniac raisers as in the holdem tournys. But it woldn't be so bad because no one will have read books or watched it on tv, the'll just go all in with what they think would be the nuts and get crushed by the heavy cost of the other style of betting in pokers games . Its almost a lottery threw the first hour any way, why not add some more entertainment value to it.

What people might be driving towards is a method whereby players are charged the rake up front to play a number of full rounds in HORSE. Like, pay .50 to play low limit HORSE (sit down with, say, $5) for an hour up front, such that leaving early or sitting out costs you something. However, since this sounds similar to an SNG (albeit without the escalating blinds, and fixed number of rounds, say 15 or 3 rotations - longer would likely create empty chairs for too many rounds), the demand probably wouldn't increase all that much.

Kudos to FTP for offering HORSE. It's really a conduit for people to broaden their games, and I'm no different.

ok, here's a thought Idea

Have antes only!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Blinds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like a Home game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you sit out, then your antes will still be collected seeing how this is a tournament. Wise players would pick these up, or sit out accordingly. Problem solved. 8)

keep collecting antes from players that are sitting out in live games too.

You should. They're a blast and the level play is alot higher then most $5.50 tourneys.

I don't see why people would sit down at a horse table and sit out in their weaker games. If they didn't want to have to play their weaker games, then they should just play a ring table of their stronger games. They would have nothing to gain by sitting out during their weaker games....
