Re: hold em or real stud
It might be better to learn a number of games to see what you like and where your strengths lie. There's stud, stud 8, holdem, omaha, and omaha 8 among the most popular games. There are the limit, pot limit and no limit variations of each game. And then there are the live game and the tournament versions of each. You may find that your talents dictate you are better at big bet than limit, and tournaments rather than live games. Of course you might be amoung the very few who can excel at all.
Also, a big part of making money is playing in games where you are much better than your opponents. Being an expert at "real stud" won't do you much good if there isn't a game, or the game is filled with other experts. Better to play in the pot-limit omaha game acroos the room full of mediocre players if you are an expert at that too. Also better to play in the 20/40 holdem game as a good player if the other players are bad.
