HOSE Poker is only played by those professionals.
This is the game that doesn't only require great deal of strategy to win but also lots of great timing, great algorithmic interpretations and tons of luck.
Let make this simple as this: You can't play HOSE without knowing the basics of Texas Hold'em.
It's difficult to understand HOSE if you are not aware of high-low split of Omaha, the complexities of Seven-card Stud and the big at stakes in Seven-card stud hi-lo.
Bottom line is, study first before playing HOSE.
Before playing HOSE, you should be familiar with the basic strategies in Texas Hold'em.
All the rules in poker games are extracted from Texas Hold'em.
Moreover to that, the strategies you need in HOSE Poker require leveling up.
You must realize the paranoia you feel in Texas Hold'em will double up in HOSE.
For this, you really need to be observant with your opponents' behavior.
While playing, it is really up to you if these behaviors are a threat to you or not.
Do they play in premiums? Are the bets raised aggressively? If yes, how come? All these questions are in your mind and you still need to remain calm by all means.
That's a tough situation, right? It's really tough but if you stick to a specific algorithmic strategy, the course of action will be smoother by a mile.
Most importantly, don't be too predictable.
Change your strategy from time after time.
You might be using Strategy A at the first part of the game.
Use B and C on the second and third.
Strategy D on the fourth and on the fifth part, don't immediately switch to A, try combining AB and CD if you think it will help you advance in the game.
   That's the game of HOSE.
It's unpredictable.
It twists your fate and no one is safe.
