Re: .05/.1 stud starting hands (i\'m learning stud)
Some parts of 7CS4AP aren't going to be very applicable to this game. There is a significant section devoted to ante-stealing, and a section devoted to defense against it. This will almost never come up. If there is a scenario where you would ordinarily raise or re-raise to get it heads-up, but you can't expect to get it heads-up because the players are so loose, don't raise for that reason. The sections on starting hands and the section on loose games in particular are still going to be valid.
I would suggest playing somewhat bigger if you can. I can't imagine anyone taking a $.05/.10 game very seriously. Playing against people who care at least a little about the money should be more instructive than playing for pennies. You might as well be playing for play money. Also, this game has an over-ante which will distort your perception of how stud plays which may work against you when you move up to games with a saner ante structure.
