That’s a common greeting. It is also a bit of confusion as I tried to get a handle on just how good or bad a stud player I am. I have even bought Poker Tracker for Stud and still don’t have a good idea. Although, I have a lot more statistics.
I have tried moving up to get away from having to show down against a pack of calling stations. That has worked well and horribly. PT give the guts in great fashion. Trying to interpret the data can create as many questions as answers.
I have played 5,916 hands at Stud. Along the way I paid $127.90 in rake. In doing so, I have won $182.70. I have played mostly .25-.50 and .50-1. But, the last couple of days I’ve also played up a bit with solid (too exponentially solid) results that skew thing. I’m actually around my high water mark for winnings. But, today and yesterday in particular, playing 1-2 and 2-4 make me look far better than I should.
