Hey Joe, I'm usually a Hold'em player but have always liked and dabbled in some of the stud and draw games.
I don't really play much but I've been looking at the games lately and have some questions (some specific to the vid and some more general questions).
T1 @ 12:20 or so: What do you think of betting with the intention of barreling if he bricks or you pick up a 5, 3, or A on 5th street?
T2 @ 15:55 : I agree he should force you into a call here. As a holdem player, how much does bluffing to push people off a chop when he has such a more 'scoopable' (?) board than you come into play?
T1 @ 27:45 :S for serial?
T2 @ 33:18 Can you comment on the call with the 8 low here? Is this a situation where once his ace pairs and you have called 6th street with your flush draw you have to call the river when you hit a low? Do you think 6th street is a fold given villains paired board?
Generally: How do you go about picking up reads on your opponents? As a hold'em player, I'm accustomed to spending a large amount of my time looking at my opponents and looking for leaks. How do you go about this in stud games? What do you look for?
Generally: It's fairly well-known that the game of hold'em has progressed significantly over the last 3-4 years. While there's still tons (literally, tons, especially due to the popularity of the game) of soft spots to be found, a small-mid stakes player spends a lot of time looking for leaks in weak regs game instead of just pounding on fish (simple example: A poor reg who knows he's supposed to be "tight and agressive" but allows himself to be run over by 3bets, or players who focus on the preflop game but can't play a hand past the flop). How does this change when looking at stud? What level of play is needed to beat some of the mid-stakes games?

Leave some time links next time and make it easy on an old man like, thx bro!
The pot was limped. It's super small, I sorta mutter that it is. Take a look: http://www.deucescracked.com/videos/13831-Episode-Five?seek=747
What's to win? (yep, there is way more to lose, fold now)

Very little but since I had a high board and he made a low, he should have bet for sure.

LOL doh.

I have no idea wtf that guy is doing in there. He has a pair of Queens and should always get scooped for not folding with the first Ace hit.

Most of the mistakes are made on 3rd street. Dead hands in bad sports vs dominating cards is an easy mark of a weak player.

Stud is highly complicated and it takes a level of proficiently to play well. But the games are really great and can be easily beaten up to mid-high stakes with a good amount of work.
