Message: [QUOTE="Double-A, post: 1391950, member: 42661"] In a game with small antes/blinds and deep money, unskilled opponents will get crushed. Luck will play a part in who wins a hand, not so much in who gets the money. Strongly agree. Stud has lost popularity specifically for this reason. Unskilled opponents have little chance, don't get lucky, lose their money, and don't want to play any more. Keeping track of up cards, folds, and how that affects your chances is difficult. Not too mention how folded up cards affect the chances that your opponent has the hand he is representing... my head hurts. I'd further agree that Razz has a strong element of luck. If your TAG and your loose/passive opponents are catching cards, you're in for a long day. I'd want to be the luckiest player at Razz and the most skilled at Stud. Interesting where NLHE (or other flop games) fits on that scale... [/QUOTE]
