Default 2-7 I read the sticky and I\'m watching Death Donkey\'s video but

I clearly don't understand this game at all.

What are you looking for in a starting hand?

I have been playing O/8 some Stud 8 and a little Razz from time to time but I think that this game could cause me problems because I am used to ignoring straights and flushes and the A being high only is sure to trip me up.

Do you guys/gals have an opinion regarding the best book for 2-7? I will go read the chapter in SSII.

Pretty much a 1 or two card draw to a 7 that includes a deuce or a 1 card draw to an 8 with a 2 or 3. You can also steal on the button or defend against a button steal with a 2 card draw to an 8 that includes a 2 or 3. This is a little tight, but it's pretty good for a beginner. Oh, and pat 9's or better.

Daniel Negreanu has a good introductory chapter on Super System II.

Sorry about that. There was an HTML typo which Firefox works around but IE didn't. Should be fixed now.
