What is H.O.R.S.E. Poker?

Horse (H.O.R.S.E.) Poker is a mix of five poker games– HORSE is actually an acronym of poker games combined: Hold ‘em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, 7 Stud and Stud Eight or better. House rules set out how the games will be rotated. Some will determine the rotation based on how many hands was played, while others give each game a time frame on how long the game will be played. The rules of Poker in each game still apply, no exceptions. So deep familiarity in each game is always a must to ensure success.

To be specific with the dynamics of HORSE poker, players could start with Texas Hold ‘em and play eight hands before transferring to Omaha and so on. Others set a time frame such as 30 minutes and then the game rotates to another poker variation. But instead of taking their time, each game that is time based to ensure that each game is enjoyed and played well.

Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

Ace King (AK) is one of the best starting handsin Texas Hold’em Poker.. But, it’s just that, a starting hand. It’s only 2 cards of a 7-card equation. In nearly every situation, you want to come out firing with AK as your hole cards. (The exception would be when faced with a big raise from an early position bettor.) When the flop comes, you need to reassess your hand and think things through before you just assume your overcards are best.

Like many other situations in Texas Holdem, knowing your opponents will help you gauge your situation when you hold A-K and see a flop like 9-8-2. Since you bet preflop and were called, you assume your opponent is also holding good cards and the flop may have missed them as badly as it missed you. Your assumption will often times be correct, but they could be holding a pocket pair and be leading in the hand, or worse yet have pocket 9s, 8s, or 2s. Also, don’t forget that many poor players wouldn’t know good cards if they tripped over them and could have called with A-x and paired the board.

If your opponent checks, you could check and see a free card or make a bet and try to pick the pot up right there. If they bet, you could raise to see if they are for real or fold. What you want to avoid is simply calling your opponent’s bet to see what the turn brings. If any card other than and Ace or King hits, you won’t know any more information than you did after the flop.

Let’s say the turn brings a 4 and your opponent bets again, what do you do? To call a bet on the flop you had to think your hand was the best, so you must surely think it still is. So, you call a bet on the turn and one more on the river to find out that your opponent was holding 10-8 and only had second pair after the flop. At that point, it dawns on you that a raise after the flop could have won the pot right then. Instead, you called and lost 3 more bets in the hopes of catching a miracle card or that your Ace high would hold up. If you would have raised on the flop and been called or reraised it would have only cost you 2 bets to learn more about the strength of your opponents hand.

Ace King (AK) is a great thing to see in your hole cards. Just be sure you play them wisely and they can bring you success at the poker table.

9 Poker Tips for Playing Low Stakes Cash Games Online

1) Online poker affords players the opportunity to play for real money at stakes far lower than are generally available in traditional casinos. At the very low end are Omaha and Hold’em games with $0.02/$0.04 betting structures, while the upper end of low-limit is generally considered to be a $4/$4 structure. This can be both a boon and a bane. On the one hand, it gives you the chance as a beginner to gradually hone your knowledge and strategy and then advance to ever so slightly higher limits when your progress merits doing so. On the other hand, you must be very careful to not think that because the stakes in your beginning games are so low, the money doesn’t matter so much and therefore you don’t need to be sharp about your game and improving it.

2) Be careful not to equate low-limit internet poker with poker games you might play for fun with friends and family. Understand that, even though the majority of low-limit internet players will be beginners, some percentage will be A) experienced players looking to either try out a new strategy about which they have either thought or read about and B) Much better players looking to earn their buy-in money for higher limit tables from less experienced players.

3) While it’s true that when you’re up against those beginners who don’t take low-limit stakes seriously you’ll be able to earn money off them with relative ease, that action is not honing your skills for higher-stakes games. To the extent possible you should seek out internet tables where your opponents are very serious about the game, despite the low stakes. With so many players on each poker site, it could be months before you face the same player again. But you have a recourse— namely, taking notes on your opponents. On most sites, if you right click on an opponent you are given an option to take notes on his/her play style. By all means, do take such notes. Develop a personal poker shorthand (for example, LC can stand for “Loose Cannon.”) Then in the future, when you recognize a player, you can consult your notes and therefore be that much further ahead.

4) Inexperienced players have a tendency to play too many starting hands. The temptation to see the flop, for them, is overwhelming. Understand that you can learn as much from staying out of a hand and observing how the others play as you can from staying in. Do not play garbage hole cards. Instead, fold them, and then pay attention to how the remaining players place their bets, how long they take to act, and all the other signs that will give you an advantage when you are playing against them with hole cards statistically favored to win.

5) A special warning is in order for when you are playing low stakes no-limit games. Televised poker is almost always of the no-limit variety and therefore many ill-advised beginners itch to get in on that specific kind of action. Because the internet makes so readily available the playing of low stakes no-limit games, many people heedlessly go “all in” (when all-in is twenty cents) in situations where no player with one brain cell to rub against another would. You must exercise extreme caution against getting caught up in the foolishness, because if you develop bad habits for no-limit play then you will never successfully advance to higher stakes, no-limit games.

6) For the same reasons that many online players will go all-in unjustifiably, they will also call unjustifiably in low-limit games. Don’t get sucked into the cycle. When one or more opponents are calling stations and you don’t have a hand that justifies your calling and/or raising, throw that hand right into the muck.

7) Beginners must be aware of the enormous difference between a $0.05/$0.10 poker game and a $25/$50 one. Some people spend a month or two winning overall in the low-limit games and then erroneously presume that they can successfully make a quantum leap to much higher stakes games without going through the necessary intermediary steps as part of their learning curve. It is wise to spend between 20 and 40 hours playing at each stakes level before progressing to the next higher level. If after less time you feel you are seriously outmatching all of your opponents at a given level, you can consider going up, but do so with due caution.

9) Never forger, that you as a beginner should use low limit online poker games as learning tools to advance your skills, prepping you for eventual big wins in higher stakes games.
