Re: Paradise .50/1 Stud Hi

It is a great game and there are plenty of them going usually. There are a few extra tight games but most are either loose-passive or tight-passive.

Re: Where do you guys make your money (if at all)?

1. Yes at levels up to 2/4. Break-even at 2/4 with only approx. 4K hands played.

2. My money doesn’t really come from types of hands but rather it comes from two ways. First, I once read that most...

Re: Some 3/6 stats from last night, some bad beat content and pouting.

Hey Beer,
And I thought I was the only one… /images/graemlins/blush.gif
Great post. I was winning 3+ BB/hour at no ante .50/1.00 before I was called out by a 2+2er (MRBAA) for not moving up. So I...

Re: How loose should I play in this game?

Head over to Poker Stars - the ante is 5 cents.

Why don't you give .50/1.00 a shot? The games are too passive to need a 300 big bet bankroll at that level. And enough people respect raises that...

Re: PokerTracker for Stud

Paradise Poker is a great place to learn. The .50/1.00 game is no-ante and pretty soft with a sprinkling of players with a clue. You can learn to play solid hands without getting eaten up by the...

Re: Looking for 7 stud $2-$4 game

Poker Stars - usually only one or two games and sometimes it's too tight to make it worthwhile; the players tend to be better here than at Paradise

Paradise - generally several good (not too...

Re: .05/.1 stud starting hands (i\'m learning stud)

Pay particular attention to the loose game section of 7csfap.
That said, I think you'll find Roy West's "7 Card Stud: How to Win at Medium and Lower Limits" a lot more helpful in learning stud as a...

Re: Ante structure and starting hands (F\'woods 1/3, 50 cent ante)

Agreed that PokerStars has a good ante structure for its games. The games tend to play tight but not always.

Paradise Poker has a no-ante .50/1.00 game that is a great place to learn basic A-B-C...

Well, props to Andy! But it's fair to say that there are more than a few people you can learn from, although Andy is a great resource.

It's important, though, to recognize that the more...

Re: Stud bankroll and a question about stud books

TOTALLY AGREE!!!!! But do read, study and learn the Loose Games section of 7csfap. Then figure out, for the game you're currently in, which strategy makes the most sense.

Re: PS 2/4 stud .25 ante small pair big kicker

This is a fold on 4th but I guess everybody else has said that. It's so important to get out while it's cheap and before the errors get compounded because of pot size.

Re: 2/4 pacific hand with maniac

I agree that betting yourself rather than calling is a better 4th street play. You were going to call anyway but leading out makes your hand look stronger, especially with a maniac at the table. Your...

Andy,
Do you fold to or call a raise (if he was drawing to, and hit, a straight)?

had he called, and then folded on the end, in previous hands?
