First of all, it can be played for decent stakes at Superior Poker. I still just play for play money because I still get schooled at it. As far as strategy, I'm still working on it, but I keep seeming to get raped when somebody throws down the nut hand for that number of cards, then a low pair, then pair of dueces, and then a [censored] four as their last card and I'm sitting with five cards left! Try to figure out how to use your cards to allow you to win every hand in a row in the last part of the game. Like shooting the moon at hearts, people figure out what you're up to right away, so you need to make it so they can't do anything about it. There's a bit of watching your opponents and figuring out how sneaky they are too, but my best advice (and I still suck, mind you) is practice practice practice. I wish there was more info on Big 2; it really is an interesting game.
