Thinking of learning stud

[cmurl904]

It depends where, and which games. I usually play 5/10 at the Trop in AC. I find it looser (and more social) than the Taj 5/10 games. The Trop has their share of old regulars, but seems to attract more "housewives", Asian gambler-types, and hold 'em players waiting for seats. The 3/6 game is also good, despite no ante. The pots get pretty big for a low limit game.

IMO, the "poker boom"/TV has pretty much killed off low limit stud. Before 2002 or so, there were lots of younger players (myself included) playing stud. Now, 99% of these guys (and newer casual players) play 1/2NL. Long story short, there are still fish in stud games, you just have to look harder and harder for them now.
