Update: Full Tilt Poker is now open for business again and numbers are getting stronger by the day. If you like to play mixed games, I recommend having an account at FTP and Pokerstars as they are the only two sites with mixed game traffic worth mentioning.
7-Game Mix is a welcome addition to the already huge range of mixed poker games available at Full Tilt Poker. This combines the following games: Fixed Limit Holdem, Limit Stud Hi-Lo, Limit Razz, Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, Limit Stud Hi, No-Limit Holdem and Pot-Limit Omaha.
There are choices of table sizes,with 2, 6 and 8 player games available at stakes starting at 10c / 20c and going all the way to $2000 / $4000 – the majority of the action being at $2 / $4 and below.
What we like about the 7-game mix is that there are 10 hands of each game played in rotation, rather than the 6 hands for the 8-game mix at Pokerstars. This gives you more opportunity when you have an edge, and profiting from the recreational nature of these mixes is often as straight forward as staying tight in your ‘bad’ games and then taking as many chips as possible in your good ones… opponents will tend to make big mistakes for you to exploit.
Of all the rounds in which to make errors – none are more expensive for your opponents than the Omaha rounds. With Fixed Limit Omaha. Hi-Lo you will find opponents chasing one side of the pot heads-up frequently, and starting hands selection which often runs into 70% of hands dealt. Pot-Limit Omaha is a goldmine in 7-game, where opponents seem all too happy to stack off with over pairs and non-nut flushes.
