You still have to let this go. That's just how stud 8 works; you should be playing pretty weakly until you get in a dominating position, then you jam hard.

FWIW, I don't know if this mixed game would suit your playing style very well.

I'm not sure what my playing style is exactly but I play all games but holdem pretty straightforward other than BT which I am feeling in live games that it is better to snow if I don't get there after the second draw because nobody thinks anybody is snowing.

Mike L told me I'm a mixed game fish too, or at least a Stud 8 fish. Completely based on this hand.

My point about this particular mix of games is that they don't suit your natural playing style. Stud 8 and Omaha 8 don't favor many of the very aggressive plays you tend to make (which work very well in hold em and even stud hi). Why would you waste your time in a mix game where 2/4 games take you out of your comfort zone and the other two are really straightforward gamble fests?
