Re: Is there enough money in Stud to make it worth learning?
There are so few hands that have absolute value in stud that (most) every decision must be made on the fly. Stud games seem a lot more passive than Hold'em games, as a raise is a lot more powerful in stud, but I would agree that high variance is possible. I've been fortunate to be able to find fairly passive opponents in the LA 15-30 and 30-60 games recently, though, and have seen a lot less variance than I have in Hold'em. Aggression is a big factor.
