Re: Stud - style of play - discussion
[ QUOTE ]
I think Sklansky was talking about draw /and low ball and not stud when he made these comments.
His point is perfect play before the draw is nowhere near as important as after the draw, and alot of instinctual players don't so well before the draw but play much better than percentage after the draw.

I'm not a Sklansky-infallibility guy, but there is no way that quote could be about draw, it's so wrong. It's less wrong for lowball, but it makes a lot of sense for stud or holdem.
Handreading is huge in all forms of poker, just some more than others. High stud is near the top of the scale. But even in a game like Razz which seems really simple and mechanical when you're learning it, handreading can be a huge advantage.
