FTP mixed games

[1p0kerboy]

FTP has stated that they will soon be offering mixed games, perhaps where "big bet" games are mixed with limit games. This is the reason they have been running their "cap" games.

Does anybody know what games/rotations are going to be offered? Also, will they offer new mixed tournaments as well?

I found this from FTPDoug from a few weeks ago.

3. What about mixed NL/PL games?

Some people correctly noticed that when we introduced cap games, it was as a pre-curser to mixed games. We plan to mix NL and PL, as well as making mixed games that alternate between Limit games and Big Bet games.

It would tend to mimic the big game. For example, in a $4-$8 or $5-$10 Mixed game, the big bet game would have $1-2 blinds, with maybe a 50 BB Cap. That's all still up in the air, suggestions welcome.

Since he is asking for suggestions, here I go.

In this day and age, most players play multiple games at once. This makes games like 7-card stud and Razz hard to play because remembering the discards on each and every table gets to be a tedious if not impossible task. I believe this is why HORSE is not going to be a popular game on the internet.

So my suggestion is to run mixed games not including those games. Perhaps a version of HOE where:
H = no-limit H old 'em
O = pot limit O maha
E = pot limit Omaha E ight or better split

If limit games do get mixed in with the rotation I would suggest that the blinds play twice as big as they do the big bet games. If we are playing no-limit hold 'em with $1/2 blinds, the rotation should then feature a limit game of $4/8. This way the average pots are close to being the same size.

Does anybody else have any ideas or suggestions?

I would like to see deuce to seven triple draw in a mixed game.
