Re: Beginners luck
 

the games are always going to be good at those limits but you obviously went on a monster rush. my winrate at stud/8 is not significantly higher than my win rate at holdem (although ive never played the lower 1-2 games so i cant really speak of them) although i do have less losing sessions.
its a great game though, and playing different games makes poker much more fun so congrats on a good first session and good luck.

Re: Beginners luck
 

I play with the same people over and over again online and it seems to be they carry over a style from Hold'em poker, putting a high value on any pocket pair. I mainly try to play lows which have multiple ways of winning (flushes, straights, possibly 2pr with an A). This strategy seems to work against players who forget how to fold.
