Hello, i run very bad on stud HL on americas cardroom and i was wondering if it is mathematicly possible to make money if one colluder always goes high and one goes low against one player ? i lost tons of money cause some guys made some very quetionable calls goin the same side as me. or am i just a bit unlucky?

Are high only hands (pairs below aces) even playable in very loose stud hl games or shoud i just fold queens if three players with a low upcard are already in for a limp?

thx for ur support!

It wouldn't work for one player to go high and the other low, but it would help players win if they shared the knowledge of their hole cards and played in a way to punish a third player in the pot. It would be tough to do well though. It's more likely that people make "questionable calls" because they play poorly.

It depends on many factors, and they are playable at times, but high only hands are really not that great in Stud 8 in general.

OT: Dear All: kindly do not tap the fish tank in future if playing live and/or online

thx for replies.

Now i win tons of money, people raising and callin like crazy. So no collusion but one still has to get lucky to scoop a big pot.

OR you can blow 4k like a friend this Sat 17 Sep 2022 in 20/40 mix on 0 sleep, ton of snow & alcohol.

OT: Friend had 0 idea how to play Stud8/hl & went maniac LAG vs expert pro best friend shseasy during session not collusion, was too high on life to care about money.

pretty sure i was playing with 2 bots or a collusion ring from USA accounts tonight at the stud hi wpn micros...i was on a mission to take their roll but they moved down in stakes from $0.40/$0.80 to $0.4/$0.08..I started winning and then the table filled up....

I think they have 3+ accounts cuz first i was playing with 2 alleged bots or a team and then another guy joined after i started winning and he played like them also from the USA. (only mention this again cuz i doubt theyre in the US if they are a ring)..they tank alot and finally call half way done, every time. One DC's ALOT.

They ended up using the emojis just once and once even showed his hole cards but i think they were hollywooding. They never did it again that session


PS.
Or maybe i was too stoned to tell..but pretty sure 2 of the 3 were bots. insta clicks too..

I noticed the player pool is smaller at ACR after the new version came out. Are some accounts not there anymore because they were bots and need to rewrite their scripts?

Don't you guys think it would be much tougher to use a bot for stud games than holdem? And how would it be worth the trouble for microstakes games?

Bot/collusion accounts from the USA! We cannot stand for this sort of thing, because it makes life so difficult for all the honest grinders from Russia, former Soviet republics, and eastern Europe.
