H.O.R.S.E

HORSE is an increasingly popular poker variant - the concept is that hold’em, omaha hi-lo, razz, seven card stud, and Seven card stud eights or better. It’s the one poker variant that truly tests a poker player on their diversity in poker. This brings new challenges to poker players everywhere because typically poker pros are known as very good in one game like Texas Holdem, or so and so is the expert in Razz, etc. The game of H.O.R.S.E crowns the overall best poker player with the best overall game. That’s the reason the World Series of Poker H.O.R.S.E tournament with a buyin of $50,000 has just as many big names ( and almost all poker pros) trying to win the HORSE WSOP bracelet. It’s truly looked at as one of the top prizes in poker.
