stud hi/lo a good game?



Recommended Posts

I believe stud hi/lo is a very profitable game if you get in with suckers. They stay in trying to get high almost all the time which ends up losing them a lot of pots.
Exactly. You shouldn't play for half the pot.

Stud Hi/Lo is such an excellent game because there is nothing better than holding a six high straight after five cards and betting into a couple fishies who are futility hoping their big pairs will hold up. This is the absolute best situation in poker that I can think of.

The beauty of stud hi lo is how few people understand it, and how much of an incredible disadvantage the fish have. Luck is much less a factor in stud hi lo than it is in hold em for example.

Well said, this is extremely true. In hold'em, there are times that a fish can literally have any two cards, making it tough to make the best decision (sometimes), while in stud Hi/lo, it is usually pretty obvious when a fish is simply calling you down with their pair of queens no matter how strong your board is. Thus, it is much easier to scoop their money right out of their hands. :club:
