Re: Last-minute WSOP Stud/8 advice?
I wonder who is going to show up for this event? Is everbody going to be over 60? Is it going to be 95% internet players? I think I would look at my table and try to adopt a contrarian strategy to my opponents'. If they're sitting back, I would raise early and often, and if they were internet hold 'em players I would sit back and rope-a-dope.

One thing I'm uncertain about is how to adjust my play based on the larger ante size than what I'm used to online. My thinking so far is to raise and reraise 3rd if it will drive players out of the pot (by denying others favorable odds) but not adjust too much if the table is loose since I will need to be showing down the best hand anyway.

Good Grief! If played some weird poker games, but I've never player 10-20 stud where we were shooting at $45 of dead money on the first betting round. With the right lineup, this could be a blood bath. Strategy for the first couple of rounds: Check out the Bodog hospitality suite.
