Default Anyone else play $1-$2 HORSE at FTP?

I've been playing this HORSE game for the last couple weeks because I'm unable to maintain enough discipline to beat the $1-$2 Holdem games (too boring). I'm not good enough to beat the bigger online games, so I've moved to this HORSE game.

Is it just me, or do people play pretty bad in this game? I'm up about 150 BBs, and that includes a fair number of hands each session where I'm actually confused about which game we're playing. It's Stud/8? I thought we were still playing High-Only.

I'm not great at these games, but the variety has made it much easier to maintain my interest. I've found that the O/8, Razz, and Stud/8 rounds are often very soft.

I'm working my way up to it, playing more stud/8 and stud hi. I would not be surprised if they were pretty soft. Each of the individual games at 1/2 is pretty soft except last time I played limit holdem I would not have classified it as necessarily easy money.

Having watched you play a few times, I'm willing to chalk your success up to blind luck. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I've survived playing poker for so long because of one beautiful truism:

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King.

I thought that you survived playing poker because you get paid every two weeks. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I reguary play 2-4, 3-6 and 5-10 HORSE on FTP, not 1-2 though, that's way too low for me to not get bored as hell

Anyone who can see, on the other hand, knows the one-eyed man is Jack.

The low limit horse games are amazing. I played them for 2 months or so to work my roll up to taking a shot at 5/10 in razz which turned into a shot at 20/40 razz which put me where I am now. (stuck $4000 at 5/10 six-max HE ldo)

I've never had the balls to ask in BBV. WTF is LDO?

Maybe I should try out horse.

LDO = like, duh, obv. Clearly the stud section is the most intelligent because I heard it from SG...

Holy [censored] try out HORSE. Cherry pick the razz games at the very least...
