Re: being the leader
You are looking to be the one who is always ahead and not the chaser.
Of course, it's always best to be ahead. However, you are in much better shape chasing a better hand in stud than you are in hold'em.
Here's a well known example. If you are 100% certain that you are heads up against an opponent with split Kings (K,x)K and you hold (6,A)6, it is usually correct to chase his bigger pair.
