Cash Game What's your mix? (1 Viewer)

[rjbf65]

Just curious what rotation of games you all have thrown together in home games. I've only played in a few different mixed cash games. Have honestly never played HORSE. Have played alternating NLHE and PLO where it switches every half hour. Also have played a dealers choice where your choices are NLHE, Pineapple, and Omaha 8. You knew what game it was by if you got 2,3,or 4 cards. Have also played in a full on dealers choice where it would turn into double flop Omaha, games with wild cards etc. I definitely prefer just the traditional games and no wild cards, although SOHE sounds like a blast.
I've seen a rotation on this forum called HOPES that sounds like a very nice mix. What else has been done out there?

I run NLHE/PLO/Big O one a month. We also play HO, HOE, HORSE, and wsop 8 game and 10 game mixes on top of dealers choice game.

NLHE, PLO, Stud, 2-7 Triple Draw, 5 Card Double Draw and Razz. I going to try and introduce some split pot games soon as well.

 

[churlbut18]

$2/$4 Limit with a half kill to $3/$6

HOP = Hold'em, Omaha High, Pineapple

Pineapple could be regular, Lazy, or Crazy

And like you said, this is nice because you have a 2-card, 3-card, and 4-card game

Baby steps.
After years of forever, I just got my NLHE guys to try pineapple.

NLHE, PLO mainly.

Then occasionally someone will deal Crazy pineapple, 2 or 5 Omaha. If half the table is out smoking we'll do a flip by playing either 10 card stud, 6 card Omaha or 6 card (the one where you make three hold'em hands and toss one on the flop, one on the turn and one on the river),

Also blackjack.

Never any split pot games like hi lo.

 

[Ronoh]

6 card (the one where you make three hold'em hands and toss one on the flop, one on the turn and one on the river)

How does anyone ever win a hand?

Nothing's thrown out on the river. My error lol.

When we rotate games we go between:

NLHE
PLO
Razz
7 card Stud
SOHE

Sometimes we stick to one game if that's what the majority of the table wants. I like rotating the games to keep it interesting, but if the table's happy I'm happy

What limits do you have for each game?

On a pizza?

Game in brackets is dealt when 9-handed or more.

 

[ohio3302016]

Hold em
Omaha Hi
Razz
Stud
Stud 8
Badugi

But lately it's just been NLH and Omaha.

Stud 8 is probably my favorite game but not many people enjoy playing it.

 

[blackboxalgo]

My main game is $3/6 limit w/half kill
Razz
Omaha 8
Stud
Stud 8

NLH is it's own night while Open Face Chinese usually ends every night when we are down to 4 for the super degens that won't leave.

Looking to have a draw poker night for the 2-7, Badugi, etc at some point.

Hold em
Omaha Hi
Razz
Stud
Stud 8
Badugi

Stud 8 is probably my favorite game but not many people enjoy playing it.

Love this rotation, I would like to play omaha/8 instead of hi only but that's solid!

My group is pretty much the same, but we play 8 & 10 game a lot more frequently now. It gives everyone better odds at winning some of their money back when they run bad in a particular game. My Hold'em specialist friends don't like the draw games that much, but I tell them; "cards is a lot like marriage, for better or worse you'll still get shafted along the way. So, better to make the best of it!"
