Welcome to Stud

David Grey just made a statement that is both indicative of stud and even limit poker in general.

"It's hard to win when you don't end up with the best hand. It's not like no-limit."

A lot of players will find it hard to push other players around. When it only costs one bet to try and catch your hand, a lot of players will make that extra call, even if they know for a fact they are behind. When the betting limits go up and the bet sizes represent a bigger portion of their stack, typically this type of thinking will change. Until then, hang on for a bumpy ride.
