Stud Software and Question for the Regs

[FishSticks]

So, looking at the general game selection out there for stud hi across US poker rooms - would any of you guys consider yourself stud regs/grinders (like, 10k hands/month plus).

Do you guys use PT? Is there a heads up display that stud players generally use, or do stats play little to no role in typical gameplay compared to NLHE?

I'm new to stud, and although I've done some reading and logged some hands, I'm very green compared to hold em. I've been a winner so far, but I'm trying to determine if there's sustainable good money to be made in stud hi in today's online poker climate. Is it more prevalant live than in casinos?

Any thoughts/insight that some longtime players could provide me would be immensely helpful. Thanks!

(oh, and I did read the sticky/links prior to posting here hehe)
