Re: aces in stud 8
I'd like to add a third difference, an ace in the door can easily outplay split queens or kings. The split Qs or Ks won't know if the ace is going for high or low, so it's just suicide to play Qs or Ks against an ace door.
AA+baby is basically the best starting hand except a rolled up hands. I prefer it over 456 sooted.
The similarity between AA and KK is that if you catch high cards you are playing a high hand only, and sometimes you will have to release against a straighty low board.
