Seven Game Poker Guide

One of the newest poker variants to hit the online poker scene is “Seven Game Poker”. The game is a mixed poker game like HORSE, but instead of playing five games you’re going to need to learn how to play seven different poker games. Currently you can only play Seven Game Poker at Full Tilt Poker, but I’m sure the game will start to spread if it becomes popular.

Currently you’re going to find quite a few casual players that play Seven Game Poker and this is simply because it’s a new game on Full Tilt Poker. In most mixed games you can expect to play very tough competition, but when a new game is released in the poker world it also attracts the fish. Before you can create a game plan for playing this poker game you’re going to need to learn the seven games involved in this poker variant. We’re going to list each of the seven games you need to learn to play in Seven Game Poker.

* Fixed Limit Holdem
* Fixed Limit Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo
* Fixed Limit Razz
* Fixed Limit Omaha Hi/Lo
* Fixed Limit Seven Card Stud
* No Limit Texas Holdem
* Pot Limit Omaha

As you can see the games that you need to play in Seven Game Poker are the basic games for the most part. Both Holdem and Omaha are popular poker games and if you don’t already know how to play them they are really simple. Razz and Seven Card Stud are both less popular poker games so it’s likely you don’t know how to play these poker games yet. If you don’t know how to play these poker games then the first thing you need to do is learn the rules of each game.

Once you learn the rules for each game you can begin working out your Seven Game Poker strategy. Ideally you want to focus on your strengths and avoid your weaknesses the best you possibly can. If you’re a good Holdem player, but you have yet to master Omaha then you want to focus on playing more Holdem hands. You need to also keep in mind that you’re most likely not going to be the only player on the table with weaknesses. Most of your competition will also have weaknesses and a part of your job is to make sure that you find out what your opponent’s weaknesses are.

If you can find out what games your opponent’s are weak in you will be able to steal a lot of pots from them. In the low limit Seven Game Poker tables you should find a mix of decent players and bad players. As you move up limits you should expect the competition to become better. I wouldn’t play anything over $1/$2 until you’ve been able to master each of the seven poker games that you need to play. By playing high limit mixed poker when you’re not a stellar player in each of the games you’ll be playing you’re basically giving away money.
