One of my favorite tourny's, you still see once in a while, is horse. 5 types of poker in one tourny! A tourny for true poker players.
I enjoy playing HORSE. I know that ACR doesn't spread Razz, so that would be an issue. However, ACR "COULD" theoretically spread SHOE (Stud Hi, Hold'em, Omaha, and Omaha8 - ALL Limit of course). I know Full Tilt did that back in the day, but it's not offered in Cash Game Format any longer, though Stars does offer the 8 Game Mix for the real hardcore Limit players.

I prefer SitnGo's.. I feel like this way I can master the art of playing pre flop and play shortstack.. and for me is the most important thing when it comes to tournament... Cash game you gotta have a really good understanding of pos flop, and of course this knowledge is welcome as well, but to someone who is just in the begging of the career I feel like learning how to play shortstack will make more difference in the short term.. I've been playing for 2 months since I decided to really study the game and just with this knowledge (playing shortstack) I've seen a real improvement in my game
I enjoy Sit & Go's as well - it helps me with my short-stack play, and knowing what spots to take with what ranges of
hands, as I would say that all of us are playing with a short-stack the vast majority of tournaments.
I also like playing Zoom PLO (10 mostly). I'm working on improving my game and I feel like I've made some progress there as well. Of course, I also like MTT's, usually Hold'em, but will also play some PLO, PLO8, and PL Courchevel H/L (spread on PokerStars).
