Stud Poker Strategy: Spread Limit Strategy Considerations, Part 1 Ashley Adams	I write about fixed-limit stud – primarily $20/40 and $10/20. These are the games I tend to play and enjoy. However, as I've realized from recent emails from readers I've received both here and on my radio show, there is also... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Drawing and Not Drawing in Stud Ashley Adams	A stud player often has to decide whether to draw a card or fold to a bet. This decision is especially important on fifth street when the bets double. I had an interesting hand in a $10/20 stud game at Foxwoods where I had... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Poker Workout, Part 2 -- Exercise at the Table Ashley Adams	In my last article I mentioned many forms of exercise that a good poker player can do away from the table. Let me touch on some exercises that you can do at the poker table. ISOMETRICS: Yeah, really! You can exercise nearly every muscle... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Poker Workout, Part 1 -- Away from the Table Ashley Adams	I was exercising at home on my Nordic Track. I had just returned from Paris and had eaten too much during my vacation, so I was trying to burn off some of the excess calories I had eaten and lose a few pounds. At the rate I was... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Pot-Limit Stud Ashley Adams	I just returned from a great trip to Paris, France, visiting my daughter and that great city. I also went to play poker. I played in two clubs – each in the nicest part of the city, right near the Arc D'Triomphe. What a beautiful scene... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Points to Ponder -- Answers Ashley Adams	In my last column I gave you some questions to ponder, promising answers in the subsequent column, which you're reading here. I'll repeat the question and then provide each answer in bold face... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Problems to Ponder Ashley Adams	I have some problems for you to ponder until next week when I'll fill you in on my answers. For now, take out a piece of paper and jot down what you think the best answers are to the following questions. Don't sweat... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Do Tell! Part 1 of 4 Ashley Adams	It's all the rage. Ever since Matt Damon went around the table of his professor's poker game in Rounders and declared what everyone was holding, poker fans have been obsessed with acquiring that secret power of knowing their opponents'... more
Stud Poker Strategy — Options in Fixed Limit Stud, Part II: Third Street Ashley Adams	In my last column I dealt with betting options in limit stud on fourth street, covering the decision to bet the lower tier or the higher tier. In this column we'll look at betting options on third street, when there is a forced bet by the low card... more
Stud Poker Strategy — Options in Fixed-Limit Stud, Part I: Fourth Street Ashley Adams	There aren't many betting options in limit 7-card stud. The bets are pretty fixed by the structure. Unlike spread-limit, pot-limit, and no-limit, you usually have no choice in the amount you bet. You want to bet on fifth street more
Stud Poker Strategy: Patience Rewarded Ashley Adams	My poker-playing cousin and his buddy were in town for the high holidays. So after the break-fast following Yom Kippur services we headed down to Foxwoods. What better way to start the Jewish New Year than with a playing session? more
Stud Poker Strategy: Sixth Street Play Ashley Adams	I've written extensively about play on third street, fifth street and the river. These streets are where most of the difficult decisions are made. Even so, sixth street presents its own interesting problems from time to time... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Time for a Quiz, Part 2 Ashley Adams	School has started. It's time for you to continue your poker exam. For the questions below, assume a $20/40 game with a $3.00 ante and a $5.00 forced bet from the low card. Unless otherwise noted, the players are moderately aggressive... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Time for a Quiz, Part 1 Ashley Adams	When I was in college and high school, decades ago, I hated being tested. It made me nervous. I didn't like the notion of being judged. And I surely couldn't stand some teacher telling me I was wrong. How much better it was... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Time to Go, Part 2 Ashley Adams	In my last column I explained the three methods generally used by players to decide when to leave. They were: Leaving when the game is no longer any good; leaving after a predetermined time period; and leaving after a pre-set win... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Time to Go, Part 1 Ashley Adams	When is it time to leave the poker game? There's a lot of discussion around that topic. I'd like to weigh in. There are three broad views on this subject. I'll look at each in this column and review their pluses and minuses... more
Stud Poker Strategy: To Win, Be Willing to Lose Ashley Adams	You want to win. It's a passion. It's one of the reasons you play poker in the first place. There are no excuses. It's you against others. There are no teams. If you win it's the product of your own play... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Dropping Down to Raise it Up Ashley Adams	There's a lot of ego in poker; it's one of the motivations for many players. We poker players are a combative and competitive lot. We prove how tough and 'bad' we are by the games we're in. The higher the stakes, the better players... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Beware Two Pair (Weak Ones) Ashley Adams	Some poker players overvalue two pair – playing them very strongly when they should not be doing so. We have a name for those types of players: Losers. Two pair is a tricky hand. It is often second best or worse, yet there are situations when... more
Stud Poker Strategy: The Auto-Bet Ashley Adams	I've noticed one quality among stud players that stands out more than any other. We tend to be old. There's nothing wrong with that. Think wisdom and experience; we tend to have them in spades. But we also tend to have some deficiencies... more
