I heard a rumor that FullTilt runs HORSE tournaments. Can anyone confirm this and/or give me a bit of information about it. For example, what are the starting chips and blind levels? How do they alternate between games? What is the buy-in and how many players do they usually get? Oh, and what day(s)?

Lots of questions but thanks to anyone who answers. I'd really enjoy a mixed tourney or any type of mixed game online. That is the biggest drawback of online play I believe, no mixed games.

Yeah I played in one. It was a private RGP tournament. Starting chips 1500 and blinds were pretty much the norm for limit tournaments they run. You can check out FT's website for that I'm sure.

But yeah so far the only HORSE tournaments have been private ones but it's not like finding the code to get into the RGP ones are hard.

So far RGP has had two that I know of and both were 10+1. I saw another group do a 5+.5 one as well. But so far they don't have any HORSE tourneys were anyone can play.

I'm sure if you wanted you could have a fullcontact forum private horse tournament if you wanted to contact FT support.

I'd like to see us support Poker Mountain and run some private tournaments there.

Yeah, it would be cool to get them going on Poker Mountain, especially if Daniel would play. Two reasons I don't think it will happen: it doesn't look like they can run mixed games yet and there aren't any players there yet.

Actually a third reason is the interface blows.

I'm not on RGP at all....anyone have more info?

UPDATE:

I appears that there are currently three groups hosting HORSE tournaments on FullTilt. RGP, WPTfan.com, and some kind of blogger tournament.

I couldn't wade thru all the nonsense on RGP to find out how theirs works or how to obtain a password. I did however, sign up on WPTfan.com and have emailed the person who administrates that tournament and will hopefully get a response soon.

I'm wondering if anyone would want to play, or if we should host a HORSE tournament of our own or try and combine with another or two to get a bigger field of players.

As far as I know, FullTilt is the only room that is capable of hosting an actual mixed game tournament.

I'll just find this post and tell you the password for the next one that RGP does. There have been over 100 people playing in them.

FT is the only site that has ever offered HORSE tournaments but obviously all of them are or could be capable of doing it. With the success of the RGP private HORSE tournaments I'm actually very surprised that they have not started doing them for everyone.

The password for the blogger one is thehammer, and it's open to anyone, so if someone here wants to play, then you can probably go ahead.

Yes, I found the blogger password from Tao of Poker. Looking forward to playing this Sunday.

Please do post the PW for the RGP when it is available. Date/time would help too.

I'm also trying to get a FCP HORSE tourney going on fulltilt. Check out my thread here:

If we could get at least 50 people for the first one that would be great.
