Online Mixed Games

ActionFreak · #1 11-16-2006, 04:31 PM

What mix of games should Stars spread besides HORSE?

Would the popularity of non-holdem games be affected much by high limit mixed games online?

Do you think Full Tilt will follow suit?

I personally think Full Tilt has a lot to gain by adding mixed games. It would also be good for poker. It would be extremely cool if we could add tables and customize the game selection to whatever we want to play.

Mixed games I'd like:

BOT (Badugi, Omaha/8, TD2-7)
BET (Stud/8 instead)
TOE

Mixed tournaments:

OE (Omaha/8, Stud/8)
HO (Holdem, Omaha/8)
RAT (Razz, A-5 SD, 2-7 TD)

How about:

GET (Guts, Stud/8, Triple Draw)
DEM (Draw, Stud/8, Midnight Baseball)
HOES (Holdem, Omaha, Stud/8, Sabacc)

UB is expected to add BOT games in the future.

I love chinese, but wouldn't this be about the easiest game for bots to play? Thus making it less than optimal for online play. /thread hijack.

I recall Lee Jones responding to that concern and essentially saying "so what".

I thought that being able to make our own tables would be cool but everyone would just pick their best games and they wouldn't sit in games that didn't feature all of their good games. Online I think it's better if a mixed game just has all the games available in the mix. So basically I think Stars would do best to just add HORSE+2-7, drop HOSE completely (I haven't seen anyone sit above .5/1 on HOSE since they split HOSE/HORSE into two tabs) and perhaps phase HORSE out at some point and have only HORSE+2-7.
