Default Re: party 3/6 stud/8-- can some one explain it to me

Maybe in normal 7CS its OK, but in stud/8 its suicide for the most part except in very special circumstances. Here's 2 examples of 3 way match ups:

7-card Stud Hi/Low 8-or-better: 500000 sampled outcomes
cards scoop HIwin HIlos HItie LOwin LOlos LOtie EV
9s 9d Qh 65389 262711 237278 11 0 0 0 0.328
As 8c 2c 76691 119752 380236 12 170155 61790 192 0.338
6d 7h 3h 79787 117522 382471 7 185909 45187 192 0.334


Now check your ev if you have split kings:

7-card Stud Hi/Low 8-or-better: 500000 sampled outcomes
cards scoop HIwin HIlos HItie LOwin LOlos LOtie EV
Ts Kc Kd 72172 279105 220887 8 0 0 0 0.351
As 8c 2c 68287 104352 395627 21 169630 62077 214 0.316
6d 7h 3h 81159 116520 383463 17 186590 44796 214 0.332
