chip reese's chapter in super system 1 / general stud (semi long post)

[ill rich]

if you generally play the way he reccomends, will you be able to make a nice profit?

reason being is i busted out of my 2/4 hold em game, and was walking to the escalator to smoke a cig, when a floorman asked me if i wanted to play 1-3 stud. i bought in for $30 and using just basic ideas and a little of what i remembered from super system and i quickly turned that $30 into $80. i later burned it down to $22 and left as a loser ($8) but i feel like that game is so good, if i became an excellent stud player i could earn alot more then what i do at 2-4 holdem (which is a rock garden during the week, its only a good game fri-sun).

i was winning alot, when i played quality hands like big pairs, pairs with high kickers, live high flush draws, etc.

the players in stud seem to be "better" as in, they wont play without a hand (unlike low limit holdem), but you can still pound on them when you've got a hand (and they have anything reasonable, a pair, straight/flush draw) AND if you can read players you'll do great. most of these guys are old timers who have a good idea of what a good hand is and wont just bet with crap like they do in hold em (putting you in a guessing game on every street).

now, sorry i had to tell my "first stud story" but i was wondering what u guys thought of super system 1's chapter on stud. thanks

btw, the game is 1-3 spread limit stud, with a 50 cent ante and 1 dollar bring in by the low card.
