The Ladies Give A Lesson

Jennifer Harman and Annie Duke just chopped a Stud Hi-Lo pot--a pot sweetened with the chips of a male player who maybe should've known better than mix it up with them. Annie took the Hi with a set of eights, Jennifer took the Lo with A-3-5-7-8...and their victim could only muster two pair.

Men The Master Takes a Pot from ZeeJustin

We've shifted to Omaha 8 or Better, and on the button Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo raised and was called by Men "The Master" Nguyen in the big blind and a limper from early position. The flop came 8-10-7, Men checked, the EP player bet and both Bonomo and Ngyuen called. After a Jack hit on the turn Men led out and was called in both places, and was called again when a ten hit on the river. Men showed a Q-9 for the straight and the other two players mucked their cards.

Low Card? Bring-In? Whaaat?

In stud games, an ante and a forced bring-in bet get the action going as opposed to the small and big blinds used in flop games like Omaha and hold'em.

For example, in our next stud 8 level, there will be a 25 ante for each player and a 25 bring-in for the low card. Betting limits will be 100-200. On third street, players may either call the 25 bring-in or "complete" the bet to 100, the size of a small bet.
