Rumor Horse is coming to Casino Argosy (near Cincy FYI)

The O/8 game broke early tonight [11 PM]and I was talking to one of the dealers as I was racking up, lol yes I still had chips, and he said they were working on spreading HORSE. He didn't know the limits and the dealers hadn't been trained on the games so he felt it would be a while.

That would be fun. If it's low stakes, I'd give it a try. I wouldn't expect to have chips left, though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I've never headed up that way -- I always go to Caesars because I'm comfortable there. Might have to make a trip to the other nearby casinos one of these days.

BTW, we'll be headed to Caesars the first weekend in Nov. I'll look for the hat [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yes, please tell us more...I would love to play 08 live.

It goes every Wednesday, usually around 4 PM. $5/10 with a full kill. A group is planning to play Friday at Belterra. $3-6 with a full kill.

The O/8 went Friday night at Argosy which is unusual. I wasn't there but heard about it last night.

What is a good stucture for a limit HORSE game?

If the normal O8 game is 5/10, I'd say that limit. Stud games with a $1 ante and $2 bring sounds about right - would also be reasonably easy to play in terms of chips.

I wouldn't start with a kill, but would introduce it once the game is established. FWIW, when I've played rotation games with a kill, the kill would extend that particular game until the kill conditions were not met, then it would switch over. That's a complication that would probably cause confusion/arguments when you need to worry about getting the game stable over the long-term.

Most 5/10 stud games in a live casino only have a 50 cent ante (the ones in Atlantic City definately have that structure).

Please keep us updated if the 3-6 goes at Belterra. But, I may try to get to Argosy this Wednesday, thanks.

Nov 18 or 20, I forget. Probably before Christmas. Or New Year's. Maybe Chinese New Year.

3-6 O/8 with a full kill went at Belterra Friday, primarily because a group of people decide in advance to meet there and play.

It kinda sucked though and I am not in any hurry to return to Belterraa. The early plan is to get to Argosy Wednesday afternoon. The game usually goes around 4 PM, sometimes 3:30, sometimes 5 or 6 PM, but usually around 4 PM.

I called Argosy Poker room Friday evning and they had a $5-10 mixed game but no O/8. I think the mixed game was Holdem, O/8 and Stud 8 but I may be slightly off.
