E = Seven Card Stud “Eight or Better” (Hi-Lo)
R = “Razz”
O = “Omaha” Eight or Better (Hi-Lo)
S = “Seven” Card Stud
H.E.R.O.S. Poker - Rules of Sequence
The sequence of games played in H.E.R.O.S. follows the acronym itself. When the game begins, competitors will be playing Texas Hold’em, followed by Seven Card Stud Eight or Better (Hi-Lo), Razz, Omaha Eight or Better (Hi-Lo) and then Seven Card Stud. Once Seven Card Stud completes its rotation, the game will circle back around to Texas Hold’em and continue as such until the session or tournament has ended.

H.E.R.O.S. Poker - Rules of Rotation
It is not enough to know how to play each game in H.E.R.O.S. Poker. Rules of rotation are very important, as they determine when each new poker variant will be played. All mixed games follow one of three possible rules of rotation – Rotation by Hands, Rotation by Time or Rotation by Blinds.
Rotation by Hands: This is the fastest pace version of H.E.R.O.S. Poker. Each time a new hand is dealt, the next game in sequence is played.
Rotation by Time: In this version, the sequence of games changes at predetermined intervals as the specified time lapses. A common Rotation by Time would be every 10 minutes.
Rotation by Blinds: Especially popular in H.E.R.O.S. tournaments, Rotation by Blinds means that the sequence of games will rotate each time a new blind level is reached. The time at which blind levels increase can vary greatly, depending on the type of game and/or size of the tournament, ranging anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour.
