How it works

Step-by-step guide

Follow the process in order, then check the room's current lobby and cashier terms before committing funds.

  1. 1

    Find mixed games at Natural8

    Log in to Natural8 and filter the lobby for "Mixed Games", "HORSE", "8-Game", or specific game rotations.

  2. 2

    Choose your format

    Select from available mixed game formats. HORSE is the most common, while 8-Game includes additional variants like No-Limit Hold'em, PLO, and 2-7 Triple Draw.

  3. 3

    Study each variant

    Before jumping in, make sure you understand the basic rules and strategy of each game in the rotation. Your weakest game will be where you lose the most.

  4. 4

    Join a table

    Take your seat and be ready for the game to rotate. The variant changes every orbit or at set time intervals, depending on the format.

Tips and best practices

  • Your edge in mixed games comes from being well-rounded. Study your weakest variants to plug leaks.
  • Many opponents have strong Hold'em skills but are weak in Stud and Razz — exploit this.
  • Limit games (most mixed game variants) require different bankroll management than no-limit formats.
  • Mixed game tournaments often have softer fields than pure NLHE events.
