Re: Last-minute WSOP Stud/8 advice?

As the game goes on and ppl get tighter, high hands go up a lot in value. A medium pair HU against a low that is all in by fourth street isnt a bad situation. Look to steal and steal alot. Good luck.

Good advice. Also to expand of this particularly in the early rounds the action will be loose and wild, players will peel liberally. Keep this in mind and adjust accordingly on the later rounds when some players start to tighten up (4th - 5th hour), and others will be extremely agressive in order to stay alive. On the first round your defense range can loosen up because their steeling range will greatly increase and the pot size will be enormous due to the ante/completion ratio. Keep the size of the antes and pot size in mind at all times, the structure at the WSOP is very unique. All in all remember that unlike hold'em, you really dont have to adjust very much, play as if it was a cash game and you should do rather well.
One last piece of advice - the Full Tilt Tournament Guide Stud 8 section is rather good if your a solid cash game player.
