Default Re: stud STT question

You want hold'em players in your stud games.

You want stud players in your hold'em games.

AK is a hold'em hand. In hold'em, you get three cards all at once to see if you make a pair, and that pair will more often than not be good. In stud, you have to pay for each card individually, and one pair isn't going to hold up nearly as often as it does in hold'em. That Five is a real clunker. You might play this as a steal, or you might limp in late if it's cheap, but apart from that, fold hands like this without a second thought.
