I play alot of HORSE online. I have good results and have booked only 2-3 losing sessions. I am gonna play my first live HORSE tourney tomorrow at the BIKE. Is there anything I should be aware about playing HORSE live. I think it will be harder to see other guys cards but, other than that any tells I should look for and giving things away.thanks.

You know how they say online players are generally better than live players...It's even more true in horse.edit: Per limit obviously...don't want to start a Live vs Online debate.

LOL..no debate. I played Stud at the commerce last week and I'm 30. They told me I was the youngest guy to play stud in weeks.

Your scale of "a lot" is way off. The only way to have 2-3 losing sessions is to have not very many sessions. I dunno about the live transition. I'd look for people who scoot up in their seats while a particular game is dealt. It's probably a clue about which games they feel the most confident in.

Good point about the sitting. As for your first point. I have alot of sessions played. But, who cares I just wanted tips for live HORSE.

Do you ever play Horse Tourny's online? The big change is tournament strategy versus cash game strategy. I don't know the structure at the Bike, but most live tournies force you to gamble more then you might want to. I would really think through that part more then the tells thing personally.Also the pace is slower live, so force your self to be patient. The hands come about at half the speed so you need to wait longer to get a playable hand. Good luck!

When people said Live horse players where awful, nothin has been more true. There were 150 in the field and I busted in like 50th. I played solid and lost back to back hands in Razz where the guy was crushed and had to go runner runner and did. I was obv pissed but whatever I got what I wanted they just out drew me. One guy didn't know how to play Razz and asked me if there was a high. I said yes as a joke thinking at the time he was joking also. Well next hand he was showing AKJ10 and bet the whole way and check raised a guy on 6th. He then said Straight and everyone laughed. He had no idea. He looked at me like WTF. I said dude I thought u were kidding. Things like this happened all nite. It was a tourney I could've won but just got unlucky. Oh well.

This is good advice, too!Patience = $$ in cash games
