Re: HORSE Metagame Makes HORSE an \"Other\" Game?
i think the game itself is interesting in that, some players are more concerned with, and understand concepts better in certain games than others. basically, you can go ahead and play wild in the flop games, and the stud guys who are usually pretty tight are over there droooling waiting for the stud variants to begin so they can pick on you. they may loosen up their range against you if they see you firing away on the flop games.
you may also find that blind stealing is more effective against specialists in non-flop variants. playing position and taking them out of their comfort zone is something I find myself doing with greater frequency.
understanding the thought process of the villain(s) is a much better and effective process when you understand how they think. an easy way to narrow this down is to find out the villains best game, and appropriately connect that with his other games he may be more weak in.
hope that helps.
