Video Transcript

"Hi, have you ever heard of the game called, "Horse"? Hi, my name is Dean Hale, poker pro, and today I'm going to give you a general overview of the game that is now called, potentially, The Master's Game of Poker. Horse is a game that is actually comprised of five different poker games in one. You have, Limit Hold' em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Stud, and Stud Hi-Lo. You're actually playing all five of these games, not at once, but in the "cour", through out the course of a Horse game. You would have, whether it would be, ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty minutes on each game, and then the game would rotate to the next game. This game has actually become quite a big attraction at the World Series of Poker. It is now a fifty thousand dollar buy in event at the World Series of Poker, and normally is your best and top pros that are winning this game. Cause, it's not just one game that they have to master, it is five games that they have to master. The, the rules of each poker game would be in play during that section, while they're playing Horse. It's a very, it's a fun game to play. In fact, the first time I ever played it, I went on line and I accidentally signed up for a tournament. Fortunately, I was somewhat familiar with all the games, so I actually did well in cash. But, it's a game that you actually want to study for, and know the differences. Because in the games, you literally are switching gears. From a game that might be a very aggressive game to a game where you need to display a lot more patience. So, I would encourage everybody to check out the game Horse. It will actually, really boost up your poker skills and teach you a little bit more about the game, and give you a little insight to what all the top poker "payers", players are doing, as they're trying to play the game of horse. My name is Dean Hale and that's an overview of the game, Horse."
