Default Re: questions from Stud/8 newb

Again, thanks ... but I'm still at a bit of a loss. The hands that I see as playable under all conditions seem to be only about 15% of the total. Is this a similar distribution as in HE, where perhaps top pairs, AK, AQ, and maybe KQ and AJ are almost universally playable? Most of the stonger Stud/8 games that I see have a 4th St. % of 30-38. Is it too many to see 4th street on 1/3 of your hands? Is the gap between 15% (hands that are premium or close to it) and 33% (what really seems to happen) explained by the forced BI and various limping and/or stealing situations?

I think I get it, I just want to make sure that I'm not missing something.
