Gutted, was hoping the PLO would be on the Sunday :(

Ah well, guess i"ll just need to play the 6 max instead...
A deepstacked online PLO game would"ve been amazing though, more for season 4 please!

Do i read that correctly that there is a PL Stud event?

Bit strange as most people would have only ever have played Limit stud!

Maybe its a typo!

pot limit stud is far more exciting than conventional limit stud - all those draws suddenly look less tempting. Introduces a whole new angle to what can sometimes be quite a boring mathematical game.

Looks like i"ll actually be able to play the PLO tomorrow night ;D

Don"t suppose anybody would happen to have $22 they could transfer me on Blue Sq in exchange for money on Full Tilt? I just noticed that the cashier is only letting me enter how much money I want to load on in pounds without providing a conversion and I don"t know the exact exchange rate and don"t really want any more money on BSQ than needs to be. Let me know if you can help, cheers  :)

You want to avoid big cards, especially double suited running combinations of them, everybody will be playing those.
Best saving yourself for when you get dealt 4 deuces, threes or fours in the pocket and play them to the death.
That"s Omaha 101, glad to be of service  ;)

up to 2nd 17k, then lose a massive pot, rvr Q gives me K"s full v Quad Q,s :-(
Now Duke bullies me, until i get it all in with trips v chipaccrual,  Duke folds, Leigh has to call, having bet massive his 2nd best flush draw.

4 sp rvr and i"m out.

Leigh now puts Ger out and is chip leader. GL that man, you deserve something Leigh for all your work alone, never mind the poker Prowess.

Great tourney guys.

Very well played Chris.  I thought you played very well tonight and thoroughly deserved to take it down.  It always gets "swingy" as James put it on the final table and the heads up was no different.  Could have gone either way at one stage.

Never shouted so much at the screen for cards to hit.  Not sure what the neighbours will think.   ;D

VWP to you too Ian, and everybody in fact. Considering a lot of people hadn"t played PLO before it wasn"t as crazy as I thought it"d be. Of course when it gets down to a few it"s how the cards fall and thankfully they fell the right way. I was shouting at my screen towards the end too leigh :D

Thanks very much Mary, it seems that you and I always tangle in these online tourneys and turn or river a magical card as it was with my turned King yesterday my luck there obviously was crucial and tbh my luck throughout helped quads and a straight flush to boot.

Thank you for your kind words they will be remembered

Now tonight.............. lets not tangle  ;D

Ah well out of the 6-Max already, I think i"m better with 4 cards  :D

My own fault. Failed to notice double paired board due to too many tables open at once and lost half my stack straight away with K high flush thinking I was up against 3 jacks, unfortunately it was a boat. Then my AK was no match for A5 to lose the rest of my stack. Good luck to Moravska who was the lucky recipient of all my chips ;)

Out in 29th in what was a very tense game for me. As I was dealt so few playable hands, I"m pretty sure I"ve NEVER bluffed as much as I had to tonight. I was holding my breath / hands over the eyes more times than I care to remember (tf it wasn"t live!).

GL to All remaining. Quite a few new names on there tonight, and it"s great to see Swinebag and Yappari up there! Get in won guys!

Well played to everyone! Especially Gordon (Timmay86) who ran over his tables from around 30 players left & onwards, a well deserved win. Not just saying that coz he"s my mate either :D That"s two out of two for our home game. We"ll give the stud a miss though :P Well played to everyone though, I enjoyed watching all the tables from the last 4 onwards. Congrats to everyone who cashed!

For basic simple and sound guidance see if you can get a book by Herbert O Yardley called The Education of a poker player in this book you will find a few pages on 5 and 7 card stud. That should be all you need!

You can"t borrow mine.  ;)

Its a great game,,,its basically texas hold em,,but instead of community cards everybody has there own.,hand values are the same,,,you just have to study opponents showing cards and work out what possible hands you maybe up against,,,think bl square have play money stud,,,worth an hour on there,,u will pick it up quite quickly im sure !! its easier than omaha anyway lol

I might give this a go tomorrow night. Looks like the online WCOAP is going to be limit anyway, although I do hope it changes to the previously advertised Pot-Limit. I"ve played some micro-stakes stud-hi cash on Full Tilt to get a bit of a feel for it. Ah i"ll probably only be donating to the prizepool but what the hey...

Just to clarify with regards to tomorrow evening"s Stud event.  The event will in fact be Limit Stud.  Blue Square had confirmed that Pot Limit was an available option, but iPoker are now unable to set it up.  Apologies for any inconvenience caused - but tomorrow"s event should be excellent anyway.

Ah I tried a limit tourney yesterday and it was the most boring thing ever, the first hour was hell, even though I was getting decent cards I couldn"t get enough money out of them due to it being limit then when the blinds went up enough to get good sized pots I was getting good starting hands (I think) that would never improve. Will give this a miss but good luck to everyone who will be playing...

I registered yesterday without any problems.

The only restriction is having $82.50 in your account to play, other than that, any APAT member can enter.

If it"s still causing problems, either contact Blue Sq Customer Services or you could try just re-installing the software.

Once it"s done, I would be really interested to know where the skill element of the game is.  It seemed to be a case of whoever gets the best cards wins, which sounds a daft thing to say, but it"s very tricky to bluff or get reads on players hands due to the limit side of it.

The chat on my table seemed to suggest there was little skill in this, or maybe as the fish on the table, I just don"t get it.   ;D

Anyway, if anyone fancies starting a thread in the strategy board to explain Limit Stud poker, I would most certainly give it a read.


Good Luck All.    ;D

Depends how many calling stations you get, you get some in NLHE, you get more in any limit game - in stud you seem to get the most.

Try getting your KK busted by 88 two nights in a row (Stud & this). You know 88, the hand that busted my JJ in the 6-max and that flopped another 88 for quads against my AA44 d/s for most of my chips in the Omaha.

Oh well, having Aces cracked twice again, hasn"t helped. Last one for 78k pot for fourth spot, but out 28th very disappointing. Played 1 hand terrible earlier  v Sirpercival a-q, convinced for some reason he had KK, call all to rvr and lose to AK. Obviously with A on flop. then A"s cracked, recovered, then shove A-Q v Stuart again, he calls QQ i spike A. So swings and roundabouts and things. Good tourney, and good luck all left in.

Well, that was different.

Good luck to everyone left playing (which is most of you).


Once it"s done, I would be really interested to know where the skill element of the game is.  It seemed to be a case of whoever gets the best cards wins, which sounds a daft thing to say, but it"s very tricky to bluff or get reads on players hands due to the limit side of it.

The chat on my table seemed to suggest there was little skill in this, or maybe as the fish on the table, I just don"t get it.   ;D

Anyway, if anyone fancies starting a thread in the strategy board to explain Limit Stud poker, I would most certainly give it a read.


Good Luck All.    ;D


Looks like its a shame I missed this one. There"s an awful lot more skill involved in playing stud than most newbies believe. Like Hold'em, starting hands, table position (relative to the bring-in) and understanding the mindset of your opponents are very important. However, as you don"t have the option of shoving all in, you have to try and think how a hand could potentially develop on later streets to avoid getting yourself into trouble. Anyone who routinely calls to seventh street without being 100% certain they are ahead will be a consistantly be a loser. 
  I don"t pretend to be a particularly good stud player, but I have spent an awful lot of time playing both stud hi and hi/lo cash tables over the last 18 months and regard myself as competent. Unless you"re an experienced stud hi player, avoid hi/lo like the plague. If you do fancy giving stud hi a go, you could do worse than read the following:

1) Always pay attention to the cards that have been dealt face-up even after an opponent has folded. Remembering what cards have gone is an integral part of stud.
2) Table position is hugely important. The lowest "up" card posts the bring in and if therefore is effectively dead money. If the bring in is immediately to your left and everyone folds to you, you must raise.
3) Likewise, the less people there are to act behind you, the greater freedom you have to get creative.
4) Large pairs are all very well, but you must be prepared to ditch them. As a general rule, if you start with a pair and your hand hasn"t improved by fifth street, its normally time to bail out.
5) Stud is a game where the winning hands are biggies much more frequently than in hold"em. Flushes are common and it can be profitable to chase them, but with a couple of provisos (a) If you want to chase a flush, look for starting hands that have the potential to turn into something else i.e three high connected cards of the same suit are considerably stronger than three scattered lower cards. If your starting hand contains three (or even two sometimes) of the same suit, take a look at how many upcards there are of that same suit. If you can see more than 2 of the same suit as you"re after, don"t even go to 4th street if the flush is your best chance of glory. As mentioned in point 1, keep an eye on what cards have been exposed as, obviously, the more of "your" suit that"s gone, the less chance you have of connecting.      
6) The same applies to having 3 connected cards and playing for the straight. Keep an eye on how many of your outs are still live.
7) Its very rarely a good idea to slow play any hand in stud, but one situation this can prove profitable is if you are dealt three of a kind - generally known as rolled-up trips. It can often work to your advantage to simply call on early streets, then reraise for all you are worth later in the hand after the bets have doubled and some of your opponents may feel they are pot committed.
8) If you get to 7th street and you"re not certain you are ahead, I would strongly advocate folding to any bet unless you"ve convinced your opponent is a complete villain or trying to represent a hand you know he can"t have. If you routinely call "just in case" you may occasionally be pleasantly surprised, but this will be more than outweighed than the occasions when you really are behind.
9) If you are new to the game and feel like a bit of cash play, please PM me to let me know which table you are playing on  ;)

...Anyone who routinely calls to seventh street without being 100% certain they are ahead will be a consistantly be a loser.

The problem I think Leigh was alluding to was that when you have 3 or 4 players who will routinely call to 7th then it becomes a game of just catching the cards until those players bust out. A made hand against a draw is a standard stud scenario but a made hand against 2 or 3 players, or a draw against 2 or 3 players favours them rather than you - however well you are playing.

They will bust out - 2 or 3 players against the rest of the table will favour the rest of the table - but you won"t necessarily be one of the players to benefit. You"re just as likely to be knocked out - that"s why the number of calling stations can be so frustrating.

8) If you get to 7th street and you"re not certain you are ahead, I would strongly advocate folding to any bet unless you"ve convinced your opponent is a complete villain or trying to represent a hand you know he can"t have. If you routinely call "just in case" you may occasionally be pleasantly surprised, but this will be more than outweighed than the occasions when you really are behind.

That"s just wrong - you shouldn"t get to 7th in that situation, if you get to 7th you should almost always call.

You"re right in suggesting that you really shouldn"t get as far as 7th street without knowing where you stand but it happens. On the face of it, folding on 7th street appears strange as you"re almost always going to have pot odds, but to say making the call is always the right play regardless ignores all the thought processes that could possibly lead to a hand getting that far. Ultimately what I"m trying to suggest is that anyone who gets to 7th street without being certain they are ahead is highly likely to be behind. By calling "just in case" the amount you may pick up is considerably outweighed by losing that final bet all the times you are behind.
