Re: Stud/8 Question
Sounds a lot like you're playing at the Garden City in San Jose. Good games, dreadful rake.
I haven't played there in a good long while, not since the drop was $4/hand. $6/hand is highway robbery. The players are bad enough that the game is readily beatable, but I'm not driving a 90-minute round-trip to pay $6/hand when Full Tilt and Poker Stars are just seconds away.

Re: Stud/8 Question
I don't think the players on Stars or Tilt are as bad at the 4/8 level as live at GC.

Re: Stud/8 Question
I've never played stud/8 live, but in casinos players at limits up to 10/20 seem no better than an awful lot of the 1/2 games I've seen of holdem and omaha/8. The first time I played 4/8 LHE in a casino, I'd previously been playing .25/.5 online. I did not slaugter them that session but I did the next time and nearly every other time. It is not common that I have losing sessions in a casino (limit that is - no limit is another story)

Re: Stud/8 Question
The online players are much better than live at low limit stud8. There are people calling obvious wheels and full houses. I have been only playing stud 8 a few months and I am better than most of the players in this game.

In my first foray into $50-$100 stud/8, at the WSOP some years back, I was delighted to find the game at its toughest to be about like the $2-$4 game at the time on Stars.
