HORSE + OFC this weekend

[markgritter]

I'm going up to Running Aces to play their HORSE tournament today and their open-face Chinese tournament tomorrow

This has become standard. It's not a good solution but it's not like any of the others are better. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that OFC tournaments should be played as HU matches.

This, on the other hand, is remarkably stupid:

"2. On a 3 handed game, the fourth player's cards will be exposed. This will not apply on the Final Table."

Also, they should have a Fantasyland points cap as well as a regular shortstack points cap.

Yeah, I kind of rolled my eyes at showing the extra cards.

I prefer the Fantasyland player showing face-up but that may make less of a difference playing multiway.

[timprov]

FL faceup is more fun but nobody does it that way.

I've never played in a OFC tournament, but every one I've ever read about seems to be a mess.
