Default Re: why would HORSE produce a more skillful final table?

I don't think it would be very hard for good NLHE players to learn LHE, Omaha/8 and Razz well enough to avoid being severely overmatched. I think they would struggle the most with stud8 by far.

Because you might have been sitting in a cave, I have news for you:

HORSE tournaments, as they were in 2004, no longer exist.

Today's "HORSE" tournaments all switch to NO LIMIT HOLD'EM at the final table for the purpose of attracting TV coverage.

In other words, final tables of NO Limit Hold'em tournaments and HORSE tournaments are now identical.

I think most of us realize this.

We are discussing whether better players would be more likely to succeed in the HORSE portion of the tournament, leading to a higher-caliber lineup at the final table.

You clearly haven't played no limit razz.

You on the other hand clearly never played razz at all. Razz has no flop.

Skill gives a player a bigger advantage in split pot games than it does in holdem.
