Re: Stud/8: High Pair hand
I'm with you Al. I toss any pair lower than AA until I get down to 88 and then I need an A kicker or a straight flush kicker and the conditions must be perfect. KK-99 goes straight into the muck.
I haven't played Stud/8 at Party, but if the games are as soft as the hold'em games are, I suspect that you can limp with KK, but if you see any action from a live A you will need a lot of help.
Remember that against that many players you are probably playing for half the pot and unless you catch another K early your hand is not very strong as the hand develops. Ray Zee talks about this and how it plays out is that you won't know where you stand as the hand develops and you will have to fold.
