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

I agree with you Vehn that split nines are a terrible starter in Stud8. But these stats don't really tell you that much - the EV is pretty equal after all. The reason split nines are crappy is that the game isn't hot and cold and that these mediocre high hands are almost impossible to play profitably after third. Too often, you end up folding the higher winner or paying too many bets to draw slim. At least that's how I understand it.
