yeah, I just love playing a variety of games.. broddening your base of poker can only help imporve your understanding of the strategies behind playing poker too, so I think its good to mix it up every once in a while...
Another neat one that you may have already heard of (now that poker stars is offering it) is called HORSE, which is a fun way to mix up a home game. Heres how it works:
Assume we have 6 people playing at the table.
6 hands of Holdem are played, button moves as normal. (H)
6 hands of Omaha are played, button moves as normal. (O)
The button is frozen. 6 hands of Razz (7 card stud lowball)(R)
button still frozen, 6 hands of Stud (S)
still frozen, 6 hands of, umm, 7 card stud Hi/Lo (E??? Dont ask me, this is how its played
)
button resumes, play continues.
I find this incredibly entertaining myself..
