Limit Draw Hand Rate Consideration

[Al Mirpuri]

I used to play a lot of draw but felt there were not enought fish so I play seven stud and there are fish a plenty. However, I just played some five handed draw recently because I found a soft game. What struck me with great force was that in draw (five per table versus eight at the stud table) anywhere between two and four times as many hands per hour. This is something I had not accounted for but I still don't think it enough to offset the lack of fish but in equally soft games it may tilt me towards draw rather than stud, that with the fact that the variance is lower in draw.

For starters, I think that you should think in terms of "betting rounds per hour" rather than hands per hour.
