over the hill boring [/ QUOTE ] I guess that you need to convince yourself that the fun is in the winning, not in the action. Maybe the people in the Psychology Forum will have more insight. |

Or maybe I'm missing something here, stating your thoughts is the easiest way to find out, If you are wrong [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I gather from your responce MikeBandy, that you argree with me, that Stud/8 is boring ... but you see if the fun is only in the winning, then poker turns into a job and I already have a job, that is bordering on boring [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

Re: Any love for 5 Card Stud?
Now I don’t think my psychological advice was correct. It didn’t occur to me that winning a game could be equated with earning money on a boring job.
Actually, I love Stud8. A short time ago, I played quite loosely on third street. If I could take a card off cheaply, I’d sometimes call with 842 rainbow. Same with any three flush if there were no more than two of the suit showing. [Ray Zee ranked a baby pair with an ace, and a baby pair with a low card as better hands than these. However, I never understood why anyone would play those hands.] Anyway, on November 26, I read a post by Benwood in which he advocated playing hands that had both high and low potential. I took that to heart, and tightened up considerably. I also restudied Ray Zee’s Stud8 book. I’ve been playing a lot of Stud8 since then. I don’t have a big enough sample to know whether I’m winning more, but I’m enjoying it much more than when I was playing loosely. To each his own, I guess. |

Re: Any love for 5 Card Stud?
I been playing some more stud8 out of couriosity yesterday, and must admit, that the hands you play, when in them are quite fun (Only I got killed by the ante on Party, so no more playing below the 2/4$ level as stated in another post), so the jury is still out on Stud/8 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Any love for 5 Card Stud?
Guyon.Yea,it is slow.I play stud8 for about 3hrs a day in a live game,& you spend a lot of time watching.You say you're getting tired of holdem.I was having the same problem with limit holdem & started playing some no-limit for a change of pace.Just a thought.

Re: Any love for 5 Card Stud?
The other way around .. I am a NL hold'em player (Started playing at Ladbrokes an english site that does not allow US residents to play), and it seems that europeans or brits simply do not play limit poker (Even Stud is only spread pot limit)
So I've started playing limit hold'em .. and stud .. I actually like Stud a lot, exept for two big rushes one in stud high and one in stud8, I am only breaking even ... but I really enjoy it Stud8, since you really are not playing many hand, maybe the trick is to multitable, I just haven't got a clue if that is a good idea and how many table one should play (and I have a feeling, that it still will be slow ... heh) |
