H.O.R.S.E. Handicappingby Alex Henriquez | Published: Aug 22, 2006 |
|
Phil Ivey: Favorite - We play that game [H.O.R.S.E.] every day at The Venetian and Bellagio, with about six or seven more games. So, I feel comfortable with every game. |
David Singer: Favorite - The stud games. I think I play stud and razz much better than the average person I've played against. Least Favorite - Limit hold'em. You can't make any moves, and everyone plays it fairly well. |
T.J. Cloutier: Favorite - Any no-limit games. Least Favorite - I hate razz, even though I won a world championship in it. And I don't like to play split-pot games, even though I won the world championship in Omaha eight-or-better. My worst game is stud eight-or-better, but that's just because I don't play it a lot. |
Greg Raymer: Favorite - My best game by far is stud eight-or-better. I know how to value high-low hands more accurately than my opponents do. |
Erick Lindgren: Favorite - My favorite is the one they like the least. So, I like razz, Omaha, and stud. Whatever they don't like are the games I want to play the most. |
Dewey Tomko: Favorite - I see some bad things happen in razz, so I like it when razz comes around. It's not my favorite game, but I wish we were playing razz the whole time. |
Daniel Negreanu: Favorite - Stud eight-or-better is my best game, period. I don't think a lot of people know that. Least Favorite - Eighthanded razz is pretty boring - unless we have some real bad players. |
Gavin Smith: Favorite - I don't really like any of them all that much. I guess my favorite would be Omaha eight-or-better and stud eight-or-better. Least Favorite - Stud high. But basically I'm hoping to make my way through these games and get to that final table and no-limit hold'em. |
Jim Bechtel: Favorite - I like razz because there was a lot of players playing razz who had never played it before. It was probably the most beneficial game. |
David Oppenheim: Favorite - Razz, because my opponents don't like it and don't play it very well. Least Favorite - Stud eight-or-better, because it's a game I don't like too much. |
Patrik Antonius: Favorite - Limit hold'em and Omaha eight-or-better are my two strongest games from this field. |
Andy Bloch: Favorite - Omaha or high-low stud. I like them because of the extra high-low dimension. |
David Williams: Favorite - Stud, because I guess that's the game I'm best at. Least Favorite - Omaha eight-or-better, because I guess I'm not as good at that as the other games. |
