Stud is Dead(morte)
Too many bad players in holdem, at least at 5/10, to bother much with stud. The general level of play at that level is worse on the whole the the worse level of play at 5/10 stud and in stud, since it is easier to catch up in a hand than holdem, the less experienced stud players still have a chance to lose less than their counterparts in holdem.
I love stud and of course being a stud. But you gotta play where the play is weaker. And as an aside, is it the goal of PP to turn us all into compulsive gamblers?

[/ QUOTE ] The average stud game isn't very good, true. However, the good games are so much better than good LHE games it's unreal. I manage to find 2-3 games a week on various sites 3/6-5/10 where you can find players calling bets from open trips with no draw, raising players with open 4flush because they have 2p, etc. I have a harder time getting an edge over the so-so players, but I find the weakest players are at an even bigger disadvantage. Also, it's not like the skills between LHE/7CS don't carry over at all.

I suck (see my posts in this forum) but still manage to make a bundle at low-limit Stud/8, either alone or as part of a Dealer's Choice game. Last week at Party someone finally started jamming their rolled-up deuces on 6th--- into my open trip kings (which had filled up.) Too bad he hit the case 2 on 7th... It's amazing how many people play with no clue.

may he had the "auto shuffle" thing on, and had hit quads and saw your KKK, and knew you wouldnt drop them? [/ QUOTE ] He had only one 2 up, and it was his 3rd street upcard, so he must have been rolled.
