I wouldn't play Horse tourneys online simply cos it takes equal skill in each discipline and I don't have the time or patience to train myself in four different variants (I consider no limit hold em to be already taken care of)
I also hate the game razz.
But I play a lot of DC in live cash games and it's real fun. The problem is that it can also be expensive when you don't really know what you're doing. Knowing the rules is not enough in most poker variants.
I wonder how the women feel, not as in to the touch, I mean as to the desire to be touched?
Yes I play all games, razz is a great game and like all poker variants there is a lot more to it than than knowing the hand ranks, the training in the other disciplines does, once fully understood, add more quills to your bow to be used across the board.

G'day mate
I do not normally play mixed games. I have however played some horse tournaments and have even played in the money a few times. I however HATE the game "Razz" and it is the main reason I no longer play horse tournaments in general. I prefer to play to my strength witch is No Limit Holdem.
Anyone that plays at Pokerstars that wants to check out games other than Hold'em can try their freerolls. It's the most useful aspect since All the donks at the freerolls makes it difficult to actually win them but it limits the cost of learning a new game to time invested and saves your bankroll.

You are exactly right that it is always nice to learn the basics of any new games without having to risk ones personal bankroll. The Freerolls certainly can help in that respect. Be cool and have fun. Good luck mobsters.

Yeah, I play HORSE and Stud HI/L8, but usually only play on the weekends since these games can become very long winded. I even play the freerol on the weekends just because I like playing HORSE. It's definitely not about the money since Carbon divides a mere $50 between the top 36 players with 1st getting $13. I guess it's free.

Posted by Samtoace: I have no problem playing with women
Problem is they apparently don't like playing with you because your always cracking about something and being in the Netherlands women are pretty easy to come by. At least what I experienced the four times I've visited. You must be one ugly old 53 year old with a 12 year olds mentality to have to talk women on a poker site.
Sorry, couldn't resist!

I wasn't aware stars supported 10 different games. I'd be surprised if they have more than 6 including limit and pot limit hold em. lol
sorry ive been playin on FT to much didnt really bother to check if they had it on stars, i just figured they mustve had it lol
They might have tbh I don't play on stars but very few sites I know have much range. Full tilt does offer a range of mixed games but just looking now and there's not much traffic on those tables. Still I am surprised by how many options there are.

When I play DC there's one guy who frequently chooses what he calls badugi but it's played with five card hands. There are 3 draws and 4 betting rounds. I do not like this game at all.
So I get dealt the 3 lowest cards A 2 3 and two high cards, which to me looks pretty good for a starting hand so I bet. The dealer calls and in the draw throws all five of his cards away. I get something like a nine and a ten so I bet out again, he raises, I call. I remember that last time I played this game 9 high wasn't good enough so I chuck away the two and I get back 5 and K. He chucks away say 3 cards. It's pot limit but already it's pretty high so I check and call. All I need now is to hit a medium card 6-9 and considering all the high cards folded it shouldn't be too hard but no I get a king. He also draws one card and now my only chance of winning is hoping he has paired with his last draw. I check and he bets pot. What the hell do I do? I probably should have bet half pot to stop him stealing but the guy has just completely used his position on me to take a huge sum from me. I hate badugi (I'm aware that might not be the rules and also that I probably played it badly)
