Needing an advice...

[Chip753]

Hello.
This is my first post in the 7CS section and I have to thank you for what you are doing for people that want to improve the game.

My problem with 7CS is basically… 7CS!

Seriously, that is my story with 7CS. One month ago I decided that I really wanted to learn to play that game, being focused just on that, so I ordered some books: “Winning 7-Card Stud” and “7-Card Stud for Advanced players”. I read just the first book cause I read in some topics that Sklansky’s book is not good for the kind of game in which I should play… and that’s another problem.

I am starting to play 7CS in the lowest possible game on PS (0.04/0.08, ante 0.01).

During the first game everything was going good. I had a lot of time for analyzing the game of the others cause I was folding almost everything, following the advice of the Ashley’s book (Iper thight-aggressive style), and I was looking some amazing bad beat: people that started with nothing and that cought two perfect cards; five calling stations with amazing third street. Basically a loose-passive game with some exceptions. Everything seemed great cause I was thinking that it should be pretty easy to beat the game playing in the right way.

And then…
That’s the problem.

Five or four bad beat (one time a guy, starting with nothing, cought five cards in sequence and made a flush) and a lot of fancy players all togheter looking for good cards in IV, V and VI streets. Now, I really don’t care about bad beats: it is part of the game. If I did not want to accept them, it was better to play chess but what I would like to know is if this level is good to learn the game and I really have to pass this exam to try a shot in other levels, building a bankroll with 7CS (that is what I want to do).
I tried a shot in the upper level (0.10/0.20, ante 0.02) and I noticed that players are really fancy but very aggressive so there are few guys walking in the last streets.
What kind of advice can you give me?

Thank you for everything.

I beg your pardon if the post is too long.
