HORSE is a mixed poker game that rotates through five different variants, testing players across multiple formats. The name is an acronym for the five games played in order:
Each game is played for a set number of hands or time period before rotating to the next. All games are played using limit betting structures, which require different skills than no-limit games.
HORSE is often used in high-stakes cash games and prestigious tournaments, like the $50,000 Poker Players Championship at the World Series of Poker (WSOP). It’s considered a true test of all-around poker ability.
Playing HORSE means adapting quickly, knowing multiple rule sets, and thinking beyond just Texas Hold’em. It rewards well-rounded, flexible players.
