Any love for 5 Card Stud?

I have scoured the forums looking for info on five card stud, and can't find any.
I want to learn the game (correct strategy of course) and am looking for some solid information or literature on it. Hold'em has become slightly nauseating, I've learned 7 Stud H and am not interested in Omaha. Gracias for any insight.

I'd think you'd find that 5 card stud is pretty boring. There's basically no strategy involved beside knowing which players bluff and which start with a pair. Hand reading is extremely simple because only one card is hidden.

It's also a pair game. Straights and flushes are almost unheard of. So best pair/two pair wins most hands.

I have heard that 5 card stud was once an event in the world series,but a guy named Bill Boyd dominated the event so throughly every year that they discontinued it.If this is true,there must be some skill to the game.
