I like you, but do you have a question or are you just showing that you can win a hand at this level?!? Seems pretty standard....
I know..posting a split hand. I just love when people play Stud8 so bad, because I used to and now I only play it moderately bad.But yea, you had to be there.

I'm thinking about figuring a way to take the house edge out of WAR but it's complicated
Good luck on the journey....but the other game you came up with isn't out yet?

I need to clean up the explanation and send it to Poker Stars.I'll probably have my name in red after they see my email.

As I kept reading, I thought the next card you caught was going to be a monster for the scoop, like the 5H on 6th, completing a low and giving you open ended with the flush. It just kept getting confusing. Nice play though, a lot of bad players will cap and call with crap highs while you can freeroll, like so. Nlow sir.

Always raise that ace on 3rd street. Raise when you have an ace up with two babies and raise when you actually have a pair of aces. Keeps people guessing and gets you extra action. Easiest way to disguise stud8 hands. I also might pop 5th as you have picked what is likely the best low draw and can put some pressure on the other two players that have bricked and pos slow down the orig bettor if you miss 6th.You also can't really fault the straight raising here as how do you put that guy on 9's. He has one of the 9's in his hand and why the hell should the guy raising that started with a 5 up have another 9 in the hole? 5's and 9's dont live together in stud 8. It would look to me that i was against 2 low hands with the straight. Oh and the idiot calling all those bets with Q's is your new best friend.Love the stud8 it's the tits.

Thanks, I am kind of stuck between letting as many high onlys in early and popping to thin the field. But I think you're right about 5th.Last night I was getting no cards all through HOR and S, and I was begging for some cards after watching almost every round someone called with a 9 10 or J up. out of position. This was hand 8 of 10 so it felt like an hour of waiting finally paid off, and I only split.Thanks for the help.

I'll clean it up for you if you will actually send it to Poker Stars to see what they say about it. If it gets to the right person at support it could be comedy gold.
