Let’s look in on PokerStars now, where they are

Looking At Less Common Versions Of Poker

- you see there is life beyond Texas Holdem!

They start their post today with these words :

It’s easy to find a hold’em game–at your local casino, anywhere online, on just about every TV station at night. Hold’em is king and that probably won’t change anytime soon. To be royalty in that kingdom takes more than just being good. And so some people, like Shawn “ShawnZJones” Grant, follow another path where they can be king.

“I love Omaha-8, Stud-8, and Razz. Those are probably my best games too,” he said. “I feel like it’s a lot easier to have an edge in a field like that over Hold’em because not as many people understand those games as much. Also, split games create a lot of action, which I definitely like. Not only that, but playing fixed limit allows you to take a bad beat every now and then and not ruin an entire tournament for you.”

Make sure you learn the rules well before you take on anyone at any “new” form of poker!

That probably goes a long way toward explaining how Grant is one of WCOOP’s newest winners. Just a couple of nights ago, he took down the WCOOP $530 Stud-8 event for nearly $50,000.

“It was exciting, but incredibly exhausting after playing for so long.” he said.”Can’t complain about the result though. I’m pretty stoked about it.”

Apologies for bailing out on the PokerStars folks at this point, you can check out Friday’s post at the PokerStars blog.
