Sloe Times

So after re-watching the 7 card stud WSOP tournament on ESPN I thought, "What the heck, it looks like fun." So I go and sit down at a $.50/$1 7 card stud game on Party. The game had all the characteristics of a great casino game... I won the first hand huge with an ace high flush and then proceeded to lose any other hand I was in after that. I think this most clearly shows how 7 card stud has got to be my worst type of poker. About the only decent thing I was able to do was figure out that the guy who was representing a flush (4 spades up) didn't have it because I recalled counting earlier from the folded hands that all the spades were out. Of course, that didn't matter too much because my two pair (Qs and ?s) was smaller than his As and Ts. :( Ok, back to $.50/$1 Hold'em which I just wrapped up a +30 BB session which recovers my -20 BB from stud.

Funny, it wasn't even a week ago I was griping how I didn't feel that I was beating the $.50/$1 regularly enough to feel confident about moving up to $1/$2. Granted, this could be just one of those streaky times, but better that than a stick in the eye. I think I'll go back and read those other sections in Super System and beef up my non-hold'em skills since our home games seem to be made up of stud (5/7) and draw lately.
