Re: Stud vs Hold Em (My Theory)
[ QUOTE ]
I remember back when AC was almost all Stud, and still, the fights broke out at the HE tables. You will see a ton of middle/higher limit games of HE, but not many of Stud (I'm talking 100/200 and higher). [/ QUOTE ] As far as the Taj goes, both of these statements are wrong. The argueing and calling for the floor is done way more at the Stud games. That's my opinion. 90% of the time, the highest limit game being spread is always Stud. That's a fact. |

[/ QUOTE ] AC, and even moreso the Taj, is a world unto itself. I should have made that more clear last night. I've been going to bed early and was up later than normal. The last time I talked to Cindy, she said the high limit Stud games were still very good in AC. Even at the Taj, while I was there the fighting was at the HE tables, but we left in 2003, so my experience is both limited and dated. |

Re: Stud vs Hold Em (My Theory)
Stud you have more information available to you. But the thing is, all the Hold 'Em monkeys don't have the attention span to remember the cards that have been folded, or to calculate all their outs.
They aren't used to all that information. They see A/K offsuit in the hole and they go nuts. Just like all the monkeys trying to play hands like A/K/9/7 rainbow in Omaha 8. Hold 'Em has brought an awful lot of weak players into our world, including non-hold 'em tables. I'm happy for it. I was primarily a Study player before the Hold 'Em boom, and then I learned Omaha 8 after that. A good limit Hold 'Em player makes about 1-2 BB's/100 hands from what I've seen. A good Omaha 8 limit player makes 4-5 BB's/100 hands. And the Pot Limit guys I've seen making 10 BB's or more in Omaha 8, although that game has a bit more risk involved because of the pot limits. I find it extremely easy to multi-table Omaha hi/lo limit games and play on auto-pilot for an easy profit. It's not "glamorous" like Hold 'Em tournaments, and the payouts aren't as large. But the profits are more reliable/stable and I'm playing to make money, not gain fame. |
