Re: (stud8) what hands do you defend against steals with?
If villain has a low door card and catches low on 4th street, it's going to be hard not to get outplayed if I have a big door card, so if I have something like JJ7, I would rather it be (JJ)7 than (J7)J.
Premium hands for me are high low cards 877, 876 etc., pairs with low door cards, and hand with an A or 8 in the door, and all the good Stud8 hands. Frankly, a lot depends on my history with villain, and my perceived ability to make some money off of him. I don't believe in "defending" in poker (except in some late tourney situations), but I do believe in money-making opportunities. If I think villain is stealing, and I don't have much of a hand, I fold to re-enforce his behavior and get the money when I hold something.

Re: (stud8) what hands do you defend against steals with?
if you're the bringin and its folded to the guy next to you or the one before that, i'm pretty sure you shouldn't be folding any 3 low card hands, even 278.

I tend to see stud/8 hands as playable or unplayable, and I tend not to open up my standards too much just because the other guy "could" be raising with anything. Perhaps my (99)4 is likely to be the "best" hand, but I frankly have no clue how to play it, and if ante-stealing is commonplace in a stud/8 game, I'm scouting hold'em tables.
