I wouldn't say stud is more challenging than other forms of poker, I just find it more interesting due to the exposed boards, hand reading, last card down-extra betting round, etc.
The challenging part is going to get the old rocks that populate most live stud games to chase draws, etc. The working class/hard-drinking guys, and middle-aged housewives that used to play stud aren't playing stud anymore. Now you're left with old rocks, and more knowledgeable players getting bored and burned out on hold 'em.
How bad is stud dying ? Well, from what I've seen/read the only poker rooms in the US that regularly spread multiple levels of stud are; Foxwoods in CT, Taj Mahal and Borgata in AC (other AC casinos have low limit stud only), Commerce, Bicycle, and Hollywood Park in LA.
How many stud games do they spread at Canterbury Park in MN ?
The 7CSFAP book is very good, and can applied for games under $10/20.
