I play often with the guys doing a series of one table tournaments...mostly Hold 'Em bi weekly...but I am getting a little bored with it. I suggested H.O.R.S.E.Does anyone have a structure for H.O.R.S.E.?Thanks in advance...Big Mike

Nobody has been in a HORSE tourney and could help a brother out?

You can just run it like you would a regular limit tournament. Escalate the blinds every 20 minutes or so depending on how long you want to play for. Switch games each time the blinds go up if its short, like 20 minutes or so.Or, you can escalate the blinds every hour and just play 15 minutes of each game within each blind escalation that way you'd play each game at each blind level. HORSE, in my opinion, works better as a cash game where the blinds don't increase. But when me and my friends play, we change the games a little. None of us like Stud8 and only a couple like razz. So we play what I call H2O-S. This is hold'em, 2-7 triple draw, omaha8, and stud. This seems to keep the most interest and triple draw is a great game.

You know, you might want to check out the HORSE structure on full-tilt. It is a pretty slow growth structure (and you can make it slower by adding a 20-40 blinds round before the 30-60).Actually, what I did for my mixed-games hat tournament (a new game was pulled out of a hat every 30 minutes, and the blinds structure depended on whether it was a stud game or not) was that I combined the holdem and stud limits from the Tex's TEARS format. You can check it my tourney rules at:http://dimacs.rutger.../HatTourney.pdfGood luck!
