why would HORSE produce a more skillful final table?
I think it would but mainly because of its combined upopularity and high buy-in. OTOH, HORSE is a limit game, which has more variance than no limit.

Re: why would HORSE produce a more skillful final table?
Perhaps because it takes more OVERALL poker-skill to be able to play all those different games. whereas a medicore overall poker player can still be fairly decent at JUST NL hold-em.
I think guys like Greenstein and Sklansky would love a tournament involving a new, weird poker game with a strange structure that nobody is familiar with. They are better overall poker players and would be much more likely to determine the best strategies for it more quickly. For a similar reason, I think the more skilled players have a better chance to excel in a mixed-game too. Then again, didn't Fischman win the last WSOP HORSE event in 2004? |

I think the mixed games bracelet winners at WSOP since 2000 are Pham, Doyle, Ferguson, Ivey, Heimiller, Daniel.
Even if it were a $500 buyin instead of 50K I think its almost certain a big name would win, just due to experience. Can't go all in before the flop in razz. |

You clearly haven't played no limit razz. [/ QUOTE ] You on the other hand clearly never played razz at all. Razz has no flop. |

Stack depth also. 50K chips and a limit structure. 250 BB and the comparable in the ante games, in a limit game, for Round 1 vs 200 BB in a NL game in the main event. Effectively 200 minute levels (40 minutes x 5) but the blinds move up a little faster than the ME.
