stud 8 opening hand ?
Is it +ev in certain situations to go forth and play a hand like mines here hoping for a straight draw with a low or maybe a little something else, if i dont take it beyond 4th street if i catch bad on 4th and if i catch good on 4th but catch bad on 5th ill end it there. Table is loose passive.
Dealt to villian1 [kc] Dealt to mhickey187 [Jd] Dealt to jimmycar [Ks] Dealt to Porcine [7c] Dealt to backgammon1 [10h] Dealt to hero [7d 6s Td] Dealt to desiree21 [Js] Dealt to Fun Storm [2d]

Even if you catch 'good' you you're still either drawing to a gutshot or need two more cards for a mediocre low.

Re: stud 8 opening hand ?
I'm trying to figure out what could possibly constitute catching good to that hand. Maybe the eight of diamonds makes the hand go from horrible to bad.

If you never, ever play a hand with a ten in it in stud/8, you won't be missing much.

Re: stud 8 opening hand ?
Basically, if your doorcard is a ten, you should only play if you have wired aces, rolled up tens (trips), or a live straight flush draw. A hand like T43 suited may be playable if you're closing the action in a multiway pot if your cards are live, but I'd much rather have the ten in the hole.
Basically, in stud 8 you want three good low cards, the best high hand, or a hand with a strong chance to scoop a big pot.
