| I have been concentrating on the technical side of my stud game of late. As a new player, I have studied many books on poker and on stud in particular. I feel like, from a techincal standpoint, my game has improved immensely, I only see fourth street maybe 15% of the time compared to 85% of the time a few months ago. However, there was no mention of stud hi-lo in any of the books I read, but I noticed Planet Poker spread it. I need some advice. Firstly, being that I am working on my techincal game in stud hi, would it be adventageous for me to learn stud low right now or will it make it more difficult to improve my stud hi game. (Should I stick with serious study of one game at a time?) Are there any books on stud hi-lo that anyone could recommend? I need something with starting hand information, etc. TIA | ||

| Thanks Roy. So does that mean you think I should persue Hi-lo technique along with studying Hi? | ||

| Hi-Lo and straight high are very different games....But if you have the interest in split games...go for it and good luck :-) Roy Cooke on 22. Aug 2002 04:45 mickblueeyes wrote: > Thanks Roy. So does that mean you think I should persue Hi-lo technique along with > studying Hi? | ||

| For me, Stud 8 is a completely different animal than Hi-Stud. It requires a different set of starting hands and techniques. It's not spread much around Nor. Cal but when it is the competition seems to be much tougher. I've got my Hi-Stud game down to a reliable second income (although against inferior competition) I don't want to fix what's not broke. If you live (or play online) where stud 8 is popular and you enjoy playing it I'd say learn the game you most like to play. Ray Zee's book is very good. | ||

(Should I stick with serious study of one game at a time?) Are there > any books on stud hi-lo that anyone could recommend? I need something with > starting hand information, etc. > > TIA When I began my poker career (hobby), four short years ago, I played only seven stud. After a short while I became tired of the tediousness of the game. I then started playing Seven Stud 8 or better, and what a wild game. People play so many hands, and this is their downfall. I think you can make a lot more money playing hi-lo as opposed to just hi, by simply narrowing your starting hands to low draws that have an opportunity to scoop the whole pot. Of course, the swings in bankroll are greater due to more people playing each hand (but no more so than say HE). But I believe if you become a decent seven stud hi-lo player you can make some good cash. I also don't think it will affect your 7 stud game either as it requires the same type of skills (putting people on hands, watching for dead cards) as straight 7. It should help you in becoming a better straight 7 player. It is a game that rewards the more skilled player, IMO. Eric B | ||

| I second this. 7stud8 made me realize how weak many high hands really were, in 7stud. Plus, you need more discipline at 7stud8 with starting hands, which can't hurt as an aide to 7stud play. I HIGHLY recommend Ray's book- made a world of difference in my understanding of the game.... Plus, it also covers Omaha/8 | ||
