8-Game Mix

Mixed poker games have become very popular in recent years, especially since the introduction of a $50,000 Championship H.O.R.S.E. event at the World Series. Our 8-Game Mix gives you the chance to play the following different poker games:

Game Play

PokerStars 8-Game Mix is played with six players, with the game changing every six hands (or every level in a tournament). The first six hands are Limit 2-7 Triple Draw, with Limit Hold’em next, and so on. When the last hand of Pot Limit Omaha is complete, the rotation goes back to Limit 2-7 Triple Draw and begins again. The game currently being played is displayed at the top of the table window, along with how many hands have been played so far.

Our 8-Game Mix differs to other mixed games like H.O.R.S.E, because it includes rounds of No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha, whereas most mixed games are played as limit only. When the game switches to the No Limit and Pot Limit section, the blinds and antes decrease accordingly to ensure the stakes remain consistent.
