Stud hi, I think, has too much variance, especially at lower limits.

You'ld really love PLO and FLHE then... errr not!!

Surely skill factors, are about an application of an edge. If the right strategy for a game, is not obfuscated by luck, then bad players will soon correct their mistakes, rather than contiue playing badly.

Tolerating bad beats and not turning off the Fish by berating them, should also be regarded as a poker skill. Thought that seems to be unfashionble on the net on many sites (FTP O8 games are particularly nasty according to recent thread in another forum section).

imo stud8 is probably the easiest form of poker to become a winning player at...including community card games, draw games, and other forms of stud. It is very straight foward and you almost always know where you stand .

I don't play much anymore, but when I first played Stud8 I thought it was a license to print money. It got harder, of course, as my beginner's luck wore off. But I still go play micro Stud8 when I have a bad Razz session and want to work off my tilt.
