Reading in the main thread that the Stud is pot limit????
For a game with so many betting rounds pot limit in the stud variant just turns it into a crap shoot!! because the hand values run pretty close, especially early on, and you rarely get all your money in as a significant favourite unless you have trips.
Pot Limit Stud is rubbish for the same reason that No Limit Omaha is rubbish - it just becomes a crapshoot.
PL Stud quickly decends into a game of who has the hidden trips, and who is foolish enough to call a scary board. Stud games are meant to be played limit.
Can we have some confirmation tighty of what we are actually playing!!

Yeah tighty has said pot limit in another thread.
Wanted to open a new thread as my question may have got lost in the thread.
will be over pretty quick if pot limit!!

I questioned the Pot Limit part and, TBH, if I had known that when it was offered, I probably would have given it a swerve.
With the relatively small stack (6000 IIRC) this will become a shove fest pretty early on.
Tighty....are we SURE that this is Pot Limit? It"s very unusual to have this format....after all the HORSE isn"t PL is it?
If it is PL...them I"m assuming a 2 blind ante with no bring in etc etc?
