The best Stud 8 players were master RAZZ players first. RayZ discusses this in his split games book.

Hi TT,

- Are you sure? I didn't see that, but I'd be interested if he did write that.

- I did see where he wrote on page 8, "Seven card stud is the essential foundation for stud eight-or-better, and without a full understanding of basic stud, the eight-or-better version will be difficult to learn properly."

Thus it would seem to me the logical sequence to learn the games would be Razz (so relatively easy, would be ridiculous to not put in at least some time with it), Stud, Stud 8; or, if one prefered, Stud-Razz-Stud 8.
