Where to learn 'other' poker games?

[aaron1867]

As title says, curious to learn about 7 card, Horse & so on, along with brushing up on Omaha.

I have no idea on the alternative games..

Luton on a Friday usually has a £1/£1 dealers choice if you wanna learn - Nirvana even 'plays' sometimes    .....

I can appreciate that, but I would not know where to start, that is the problem.

Texas Hold'em & a slight knowledge of omaha is about as far as it goes

loads of guys play DC in Sheffield. Just watch them games to start and off you go. If you want a cheap game to learn in the try hull. They are a bit different to everywhere else and sit tenn handed with 2 sitting out.

There isn't much of a DC game in Sheffield & it starts really late 1-2am, plus it is 2/5 blinds, so not ideal and pretty private affair to be honest, with high stakes, etc.

only way to get good at mixed games is online by playing

It was actually your stake thread that got me thinking.

Playing online seems best option & obviously limits loss, through learning. Are all games catered for on Stars?

[JustinSayne]

Play 2nl or the equivalent and just learn the game imo

[tonytats]

Horse or 8 game sit n gos on stars

[SuuPRlim]

just sit short stacked in a 1.1 or 1.2 DC game and post on PHA every hand you find really confusing. Tell people you dont really know the games and nearly always people will help you out with the details/rules etc. If you have someone you know who can play to run you through the basics beforehand even better.

PLO/PLO8/SuperStud/Padooki is the stnd DC mix, people pick Irish from time to time but once you get your head around Superstud and PAdooki yo'll be fine.

All 'standard' games are catered for. you won't get games like Superstud/Irish that you would in live games

Super system has some ok stud sections. 7 card stud for advanced players is pretty dam solid reading. I've learnt plo h/l and stud through reading online forums, books previously mentioned, and playing low stakes cash games.

Deucescracked have an ok selection of mixed game content afaik, certainly a stud series or two I'd recommend.
