To tight?
In stud8 most of my starting hands are good low hands with plenty of live cards. The only high hands I play are 3 suited cards or AA and KK. I raise with 3 suited low cards or AA with no A up. I will take a card or two on a smaller pair like JJ if no J is up and no one is representing a larger pair. I never play 3 to a straight (9, 10, J off suit). I will play small paired low hands with an ace like A22 if no 2 is up and my low cards are still live.
This has worked pretty good for me in SNG's but in multi table tourneys the ante and bring in hurt me in the later rounds. Then I always seem to fall victim to a flush or low draw from 4th steet that doesnt come and get knocked out just short of the money.
Any advice ?
