H.O.R.S.E. Tournament (and live game) Suggestion.
December 30, 2007 by Mayhem_VI.
I’ve run a couple H.O.R.S.E. Tourneys and participated in a couple of live games. The issue always comes up regarding the placement of the button, and I have a simple solution. Keep moving the button through the Razz, Stud and Stud/8 games and keep dealing to the left of the button. After the last hand of Stud/8, the button gets moved, and the two players to the immediate left post the small and big blinds respectively. It doesn’t matter who got knocked out of the tournament, who got moved to another table, or who left (or came into) the live game.
Now, every time I’ve made this suggestion, it gets rejected immediately, and I don’t know why. Finally, Roland Waters at the Wildhorse PRU suggested that I come here. I think I’m getting him convinced, but he says when he brings it up with others in the TDA (again) they shake their head and change the subject. As a system, it has worked like a charm in my tournaments and after watching closely and getting feedback from my players, I still don’t see a downside. Personally, I like a button in Stud tournaments anyway as it takes away any advantage/disadvantge to the players sitting on either side of the dealer (I, myself, have a pathological hatred for the seat to the dealers right, and this system clears that right up).
Anyway, I would like some feedback on this. And do me a favor please. At least give it a try or a simulation before you tell me how full of crap I am. Thanx.
