This is directed toward the freaks like me that enjoy Stud H/L. I have started playing recently and doing pretty well, but I had a losing session last night. I was looking at my stats, and I noticed a 30-point difference between hands played on third street and fourth street (almost 60% down to 30%). I am looking at this as a ton of wasted bets, which could have turned last night into a winning one, or at least breaking even.
I am not asking for starting hand minimums, as that should just work itself out. I am asking what your typical calling percentages for a successful Stud H/L player are on third street. I also would like input from Omaha H/L players, as I feel the strategy is similar at this point in a hand. |

I play stud8. Not sure of the stats you are referring to -- are you tracking yourself? as I dont know any software that does so.
If I understand your question, you are calling 3rd 60% of the time and folding half of those on 4th. Simply, you are calling too many hands and need to tighten up, IMHO. I dont know of any percentages for call/raise etc. rate in stud8, if there is a book on that I would love to see it. Also I think coflating O8 and stud8 discussions could be very confusing; they are not the same game at all. |

I have been following my progress through FT stats. Nothing fancy, just trying to fix any holes in my game.
I have been reading Super/System, and it covers starting hands to call/raise/fold. But, I was more interested in what works in the online world. I do see that I have not been selective enough. |

re: Stud H/L Players? poker
Thanks for the info. I have been finding that by folding more marginal hands on 3rd street, I don't have to worry about calling on 4th/5th when they get even worse.
And doesn't that player know everyone wins in Hi/Lo games ![]() |
