Rules of H.O.R.S.E / H.O.S.E Poker Games

This game has nothing to do with farming. HORSE is simply short form for the following five poker games:

- Hold’em
- Omaha high-low
- Razz
- 7 Card Stud high
- Eight-or-better (7 Card Stud high-low)

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The rules of each game can be found by clicking on the corresponding game below:

Hold’em | Omaha high-low | Razz | Seven Card Stud high | Eight-or-better (7 Card Stud high-low)

HOW TO PLAY

- We begin with one round of Limit Hold’em. This is followed by one round of Limit Omaha high-low. A round of Razz is next. 7 Card Stud high follows. Finally, Eight-or-better is played.
- In a HORSE tournament The game will change after every level (every blind escalation).
- In a HORSE cash game, the game will change after every 8 hands.
- Once the Eight-or-better round is complete, the game cycles back to Limit Hold’em.
- When transitioning between Omaha high-low and Razz, the button is frozen. This is done so that when the game switches to Hold’em once again, blinds are not missed and extra blinds are not paid.
- Each game in HORSE is fixed limit.

H.O.S.E.

HOSE is similar in nature to HORSE. The only difference is the absence of the letter ‘R’ or, more specifically, the absence of ‘Razz’.
