Beginner leaks
 

Hey guys. New to stud 8/b. Competent (opinions vary) at omaha 8/b. What do you think the biggest leaks are for a newb at the game (who already understands the 8/b part)?

So far, the ones I am aware of based on taking other people's chips are:

Betting weak highs into obvious lows (avoiding being freerolled)
Knocking out the low draws when you have the nuts for high when it looks like someone already made low.
Playing goofy hands.
Not respecting raises.
Betting to knock out calling stations.
Not looking at everyone else's upcards and the folded upcards.
Not avoiding playing pots with the (rare) tight player who doesn't give action when you catch up.
Playing good looking 3rd street hands when possible better hands are behind you.

Anything else I'm missing that is specific to stud 8/b?

biggest leaks that i can think of... comin in with crap on 3rd and chasin with wank low draws that aren't good even if they hit perfect perfect!

ok... maybe the perfect perfect part was a bit harsh (though i've seen ppl chasin 2387 against an A264 board), but the drawin to dead lows still stands as one of the worst thgs i see ppl do.

ooh... just thought of another one... though not stud8 specific...

sittin down at a table full of ppl that know wat they're doin when u dun have a clue!

Thanks! It does seem that table selection is even more important in this game than Omaha. Although on Pacific there doesn't seem to be a bad table ever on any limit.

Playing A2x no matter what the x is and what cards are out.
Automatically playing any pair on third street.
