Money Play Poker Star
Poker players are trying to do two things: make as much money as possible and prove that they are the best player out there. Poker pros are always searching to show that they are the best and the way they are doing this is to learn and master more poker variations than just the most popular Texas Holdem Poker. For that reason mixed-game competitions like H.O.R.S.E. (Holdem, Omaha, Razz, 7 Card Stud, Stud 8 or Better), H.O.S.E., and 8-Game are being played not by just poker professionals, but regular online poker players.
More Poker Variations Shows More Skill
While the World Series of Poker Main Event is played over Texas Holdem, the poker pros are consistently playing mixed games on the cash game and poker tournament tables because it takes more skill to beat the best at more than simply Holdem. This is one argument for why countless poker players believe Phil Hellmuth is not the best poker player in the world, even though he has won the most WSOP bracelets. All his bracelets have been in Texas Holdem and nothing else.
