H.O.R.S.E. stands for Holdem, Omaha, Razz, Stud and Stud H/L Eight or better.

Here’s how it works:

• H.O.R.S.E. starts with a round of Limit Holdem followed by a round of Limit Omaha high-low. Next, it’s Razz followed by Stud and – finally – a round of Stud H/L Eight or better is played.
• In H.O.R.S.E. tournaments, the game changes after every level – as the blind increases.
• In a H.O.R.S.E. cash game, the game changes every eight hands.
• The game cycles back to Limit Holdem, as soon as the Stud H/L Eights or better round is complete.
• When switching between Omaha H/L and Razz, the dealer button is frozen: this stops players missing or paying extra blinds when the game returns to Limit Holdem.
• All the games in H.O.R.S.E. are fixed limit.
