Alan I think you may be a little off base here. Your statement seems to imply that 6th and 7th street don't matter much, but as it says in Ray's book, stud/8 is the most commonly spread poker game where the last card changes things more than any other version of casino poker. Plus I feel that later street play is much more important in making/saving bets, 4th street is frequently fairly straight forward IMO.
