I hope that this is in the correct room....
Anyway, I am thinking about running a HORSE event at my next home game. Most of the players will not be very familiar with any of the games besides hold 'em, myself included, but I think it will be fun to try out.
My question is about the structure of the other games. Can games 7 card stud be played as no limit games, or are they always played like limit where bets are always in increments of the big blind? I'm pretty sure that Omaha can be played as a no limit game, although it is usually played as a pot limit game. Please correct me if I am wrong.

In my weekend home game, we use to run HORSE in no limit, albeit a bit of a maniacal game, it can work. We would set blinds .25/.50 and $20 max buy in ( to keep it cheap). Play one orbit per game. We have since changed to a more typical limit structure for the stud games, .25 ante, $1/$2 limit. While limit is more fundamentally correct, NL Razz on Friday night after everyone's got a sixer (or two) in them can be alotta fun.

I'm thinking about running four tourneys in one day, one each for hold em. omaha, stud, and razz. Basically all 10 man SNGs, and getting points based on your finish in each tourney, and whoever has the most points wins first place.
We have played omaha and hold em before, but not many will have played stud or razz. I just need to know if I should runs those with a no limit structure or a limit with all bets equal to or double the BB and capping the raises at 3 or 4 per round.

7CS can be No Limit but its pretty rare. There was a NL 7CS game in London for a while (before my time).
In HORSE its usually limit though.

HORSE is usually limit, and it consists of 5 games and not 4, an orbit of each.
In our home tourney we play a no limit tourney in the following strucutre:
1 orbit of dealer choice community card games (holdem, omaha, omaha h/l) with SB/BB
1 orbit of 7stud, 7 stud 8 or better, 5 card stud (dealer choice) no ante
No limit 7 stud and 7 stud 8 or better are hard games for me and I dont really like playing them, due to the very high variance (when someone pushes AI on 4th street, there are 6 more cards to be dealt which adds to tons of options)

ive heard and played spread limit 7 stud (where you can bet 1-5 bucks on the first few streets and 1-10 on the last) but never no limit stud.
I mean, so many "good hands" run so close in value on 4th and 5th street that it'd be crazy to play no limit stud.
