Poker Pro Melissa Burr Calls for More Mixed Games at WSOP Online

Poker player Melissa Burr has expressed her disappointment over the lack of mixed games in the WSOP online schedule. In a recent article, she highlighted that this year's schedule included only one mixed game, Omaha-8, and even that was initially mislabeled as PLO.

Burr, who lives in New Jersey, mentioned that she has seen Stud-8 games available in the client software, indicating that there is support for more mixed games. She started her poker career focusing on limit hold'em but eventually learned eight other games, becoming a regular in high-stakes limit games at Borgata casino.

One of Burr's notable experiences was switching from a Stud-8/Omaha-8 game to a No-Limit Hold'em game to play with Kevin Hart. She believes that mixed games help players develop reliable poker instincts, a more objective self-assessment, and toughen their character. Burr argues that mixed games are essential for the evolution of poker and encourage players to stay adaptable and ready for new challenges.
