7 Game Poker

Updated, 1/1/2010 - Full Tilt Poker has finally introduced a new mixed poker game to compete against Pokerstar's increasingly popular 8 Game Poker. With their latest software update in August, 2009, they released 7-Game Poker. The 7 Game Mix is sure to be successful as more and more players crave testing their skills at the mixed game tables. 7 Game is a hybrid of fixed limit, pot limit and no limit poker games. 7 Game mix is basically 8 Game Poker without the Triple Draw rotation. Since this game is brand new I haven't had too much time to study it or even play it for that matter but I will be writing some strategy articles so be sure to bookmark this page and come back.

I will also be writing a post about the 7 Game poker tournament schedule once they get those going. I'm sure there will be some huge overlays coming up. Below is a list of the games included in 7 Game poker:

7 Game Poker Mix:

H - Fixed Limit Hold'em

E - Fixed Limit 7 Card Stud H/L

R - Fixed Limit Razz Poker

O - Fixed Limit Omaha H/L

S - Fixed Limit Seven Card Stud

H - No Limit Texas Hold'em

A - Pot Limit Omaha

So this new mixed poker game will rightfully be called "HEROSHA". Each game will be played 10 times and then you will move on to the next game. 7-Game can be played at a variety of stakes which is a sure sign that Full Tilt Poker will be pushing it hard. Typically when they release a new mixed game they only offer a couple real money tables. Fulltilt Poker has rolled this new poker variant out with table stakes ranging from $.10/.20 to $2,000/$4,000. For the pot and no limit game rotations the caps are at $500/$1,000.

In mixed games like 7 Game poker that combine fixed limit with pot and no limit they always make the PL and NL stakes lower to make the average pot size comparable to the FL games. For instance, if the stakes are $1/2 for the fixed limit games the pot and no limit games will be $.25/50. Seven game poker game be played with 2 - 8 players. I just checked and there are several high stakes 7-Game mix tables active. Currently Gus Hansen and Richard Ashby are playing at the $1,000/$2,000 7 Game tables.

As of right now (8/27/09) there are no 7 Game poker sitngo's and tournaments available. I would imagine they are programming this new format right now and will be throwing some nice money added/guaranteed 7-Game mix tournaments to help get people interested.

How 7-Game Poker Came To Be - conspiracy theory

Seven-Game Poker is sure to be a huge success for Fulltilt Poker. 8-Game mix at Pokerstars quickly became one of the most played mixed poker games, even coming close to the number of players found at the H.O.R.S.E poker tables. This may be revenge for Pokerstars stealing the world record for the largest online poker tournament aa few weeks ago. Full Tilt had planned to beat Pokerstar's record of 35,000 players on their 5th birthday but in a last minute display of cut-throat marketing Pokerstars put together a tournament that started an hour after Full Tilt's and took the record back by hosting a tournament with 65,000 players.
