- Hold 'em, Omaha 8/Better, Razz, Seven Card Stud High, and Eight/Better (Seven Card Stud High-Low).
- all games are limit H - Holdem O - Omaha 8 or better R - Razz S - 7 card Stud E - 7 card Stud 8 or better there is an alternate, though lesser played, called SHOE or HOSE, which removes razz.
- HORSE is actually an acronym describing a combination of poker games: H = Hold'em O = Omaha high-low R = Razz (Seven card stud low) S = Stud (Seven card stud high) E = Eight-or-better (Seven card stud high-low) HORSE is played as one "round" of each of its component games. It begins with limit hold'em, then limit Omaha high-low, razz (seven card stud low), seven card stud, and finally seven card stud high-low. When the seven-card stud high-low round is complete, the game goes back to limit hold'em, and so on.
- Since we're talking about the WSOP, it should be pointed out that last year, at the final table, they played No-Limit Texas Hold Em which is not part of HORSE (since HORSE is traditionally a Limit game). They did this because it makes for better tv. I don't know if they plan to do it again this year with the HORSE Championship.
