Re: Stud 8 position
I don't play much stud/8 but I do know that in omaha/8 one of the worst positions is directly on either side of a good player, because you want someone to play along when you have the nuts one way, they have it the other, and there are idiots in the middle. The key is, there needs to be a middle. stud/8 must have similar situations where you want to make people call more bets without having to call 2 cold.
In loose O8 games isolating is not an option, so preflop position doesn't matter (as much). However, position is constant during the hand, I admit I still have trouble strategizing in stud before 6th because I don't know my future position.
So I might tend to have the fish across from me. To the left would probably be the worst since I'd like him in hands before I raise, fish will call 1+1 more often than 2, even bad ones.
