The newest mixed poker version online can be found only at Full Tilt Poker and is called 7 game poker mix or HEROSHA, which is actually an acronym for the games that make up 7-Game Poker. Mixed games in general are the biggest challenge out there when it comes to poker, and because of this – you're likely to find some really big pots on the Full Tilt site when you play on the 7 game poker tables. You want to be profitable, no doubt – so you need a strategy going in to the new mixed game. Let's look at ten tips to help you up your game and make some money on Full Tilt with this new offering.
7-Game Poker Tip #1
Don't think you're Super Man (or Annie Duke). One thing that is a clear certainty when playing any mixed poker game, whether its HORSE or HEROSHA is that every player around the table will be strong in a particular game or a particular rotation. You can't win 'em all. The important thing is to stay strong during the games that you are strong in – and to hold back more in the games that you are weaker in.
7-Game Poker Tip #2
To hold your own in mixed poker or in 7 game poker mix means that you have some mastery skills in each of the games that are being played. This is the whole point of mixed poker, to "separate the men from the boys" or the "women from the girls". An all-around poker player will be successful when playing 7 game because they have developed skills in many of the games in the rotation. Practice the individual games in the mix before playing to brush up your skills – but also be mindful of the fact that you may not do well in all of them. Again, unless you've played in the WSOP, you're not going to be comfortable with every game.
7-Game Poker Tip #3
Practice makes perfect, especially if you want to earn a little cash by playing 7 game poker. Full Tilt and many of the other sites offer you the option to play for free – so take full advantage of that and get some playing time in before you throw your chips on the table.
7-Game Poker Tip #4
Learn from those around you. Do your best to determine the rotations that the opposition at your table is struggling with. Do you detect any inadequacies? Just as you're not a top player in all seven games that make up 7 game poker, it is not a big jump to realize that the others at the table aren't either. How can you tell if a player is not confident about their game? Timid play during certain games and aggressive play during others. They sit there playing with caution during the games that they are less skilled at and then can't wait to pounce when "their" game is on the table. On games that they are shaky with, you'll see many checks and very few if any bets. Don't forget that you're being sized up by the opposition (they're smart enough to visit this site, too) and that you'll need to do your best to disguise your weaknesses to them.
7-Game Poker Tip #5
Play nice. Just like they told you back in kindergarten, you can catch more bees with honey than with vinegar. Many of the players who are wandering on to the Full Tilt site to play the 7 game poker mix are recreational players and they just want to have fun. Be nice – compliment them in the chat box – and watch them hang around to shell out their chips again and again.
