In 99' was Stud 8 free money like NL would have been? When did it become what it is now?
I still think games like Stud 8 have such huge amount of bad players in them today. People really hate to fold on 3rd street sometimes.
I'm going to embrace the 'old guy' remark
I never got to play Stud 8 in a live casino in those days. It was only in my home game. The sum total of my knowledge was from the HG and Ray Zee's book.
My tournament cash was in a field with some very big NL players, who frankly did not know what they were doing in Stud 8. They played medium pairs way too much vs much stronger hands. They played too many 'razz' hands. Their starting ranges were so weak, it was easy for them to be drawing at half, or being free rolled.
There was one 'name' player who knew what he was doing. Miami John Cernuto was in the field, and he duly won.
