Default Re: Hi or Hi-Low?

As for which you should learn, I suppose it depends on your goals. I've been playing Stud8 a lot more recently, because it seems to offer a better win rate for me at lower limits. So in my opinion, Stud8 is easier to beat at those limits. However, if you think Omaha Hi-Low is boring, I suspect you'll find Stud8 to be equally boring, since both require patience in waiting for good starting hands.

If you have this patience, playing only good hands that can win both ways, Stud8 can almost be played automatically at the lower limit tables. Consequently, I consider low-limit Stud8 to be more a game of patience than of skill, when compared to its high only variant.
