Default Re: Basic Question - High Ante\'s No Fold\'em 7Stud

I don't have any experience with no-foldem-stud but I've played countless hours of no-foldem-holdem.

Playing much tighter is one strategy. You'll lose more often with your premium hands but you'll win MUCH more when you do win.

But I prefer to play more speculative hands, in holdem this means suited connectors, even the small gappers, suited aces and kings, small pairs. I don't play as aggressively preflop as I would in a normal game, because it doesn't have the added advantage you get in a normal game (you might win the pot right there, you might drive out hands that could beat you, you might pick it up on the flop when you bet again) and it bloats the pot.

I beat low-limit-no-foldem-holdem (4/8 through 6/12) for well over 2bb/100, and the rake is pretty nasty. If it can be done for holdem, I imagine it can be done for stud.
