Is it best to play tight on 3rd street in loose Stud/8 games?
Todd Brunson says in SS2 that you should be even tighter in your starting hand requirements in loose Stud/8 games. This contrasts with what Sklansky says about playing looser with starting hand requirements in limit holdem and stud high in loose games, but fold if you miss on 4th street / the flop. Does everyone agree with T. Brunson on this?

High pairs are playable in stud/8 because they have some chance to scoop when the low hands bust. If there are six people in every pot, then you have almost no chance to scoop with a big pair. So that's an example of a hand I'd usually play but tend to avoid in a very loose game.

8-high razz hands: usually not worthwhile unless you have an Ace.
774: your cards need to be live, but I'd need a good reason not to play a hand like this. Having someone raise with a big door card is a good reason. 37J suited: needs to be live, and it needs to be cheap--no more than one bet, and preferably for the bring-in. 679: yuck.
