Basic Stud Hi/Lo starting hand question

[Andy B]

Nothing that I know of. Ray's book is available at large bookstores such as Barnes and Noble and Borders, and it can be ordered on-line from these guys or Amazon or ConJelCo or a lot of other places. I recommend ConJelCo because they provide excellent service and they host this wonderful site. You have no excuse for not having it within a week. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Texas:

all 3 of these hands are playable under the right circumstances, akq is a good hand if you can play it vs the bring in and a weak limper, otherwise toss it. kk4 and qqj can stand a little more, action but are still best fs the bring in and 1-2 weak limpers. these hands should often be mucked if there is alot of action. aa4 is a strong hand and is nearly always playable in my book. note that in stud 8 looking at the cards that are out against you is almost as important as looking at your own cards when determining if a hand is playable on 3rd street.
