I've never played stud in my life so I have no words of wisdom for you, but when there is 1k players left and 88 get a ticket that isn't really late in the tournament even though you've been playing for a while :p

Good luck though.

Off the top of my head...

Make sure that the cards you need to complete your hand are all live. On third street with a pair, I'll toss it if any of the cards I hold are showing on the board. Definately don't play if your pair is partially dead.

For a 3-flush, if more than 2 of the suit (or the A) are in other hands, don't try drawing to it, dump it (the exception here being when you get down to the final table and are shorthanded).

Don't draw to straights, unless at least 2 (and preferably all 3) of your starting cards are suited.

I generally make folding decisions on 3rd and 5th street. If I play the hand past 3rd, I'll always see it to 5th, and once I call a bet on 5th, I'm in to the end unless they have an open pair that beats my hand.

Good luck :)

I have never played it in a real game either (just when I was a kid at home), but I was just looking at the Stud games today thinking about trying them for something different. You like playing it?

it wasnt bad mainly because i was catching good hands and i started to realize what hands to fold and looking at others cards to "count my outs" but it wasnt necisarily a real game more than half the table was sitting out...

Most of the freerolls have all of the people sitting out. I wonder why they dont make them click a button or something instead of leaving them to sit out until they go broke. You should have to do something to take your seat, instead of being seated just for registering.
