Stud Poker Strategy: Fifth Street Quiz, Part 2 of 2 Ashley Adams	In the last column I asked you what your best betting action would be with a certain hand on fifth street. Let's reprise the hand situation: The game is $20/40 stud with a $3 ante and a $5 forced bet from the low card. It's a casino game... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Fifth Street Quiz, Part 1 of 2 Ashley Adams	Let's focus on fifth street for a while. For me, it's the trickiest street to play, since one frequently has difficult decisions about how to play one's hand. Third street might be a more important decision, but in my book it's... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Playing on the Road Ashley Adams	I've been staying and playing poker in Las Vegas. It's a long way from my home in Boston; I've been here for about a week now. It's longer than I normally stay – and it comes with certain risks to my game. Let me outline them... more
Stud Poker Strategy: K.I.S.S. -- Keeping it Simple, Stupid Ashley Adams	I'm leaving for the World Series of Poker today, June 28th. I'll be playing in the H.O.R.S.E. tournament tomorrow, Sunday. I'm excited, but realistic. Even so, it's a heady thing to contemplate – playing among the best... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Take a Card Off? — Part 2 of 2 Ashley Adams	In my last column we looked at an extreme case when it made sense to 'take one off.' Here we'll look at the other extreme and then look at some guiding questions to help you figure out what to do in less extreme cases.... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Take A Card Off? – Part 1 of 2 Ashley Adams	Hold'em players say, 'Let's see the flop.' Stud players say, 'I'll take a card off.' They mean roughly the same thing: They'll pay to see the next round. But the decision is very different. In hold'em, by calling preflop and then seeing... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Rotation Tips Ashley Adams	I've been playing in a lot of home games lately. That's a product of the price of gas. As the price goes up I am less willing to drive the 200 miles or so round trip to play at Foxwoods, my nearest major poker room. I've got to get... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Saving Money is Earning Money Ashley Adams	To be a winning 7-card stud player, you need to develop a winning poker strategy. 95% of my columns are devoted to that -- the math, psychology, and analysis necessary to make you better than the folks you are likely to be... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Multi-way Hands, Part 3 Ashley Adams	The strategy for multi-way stud games on fifth street and beyond varies significantly from heads-up play. There is a new dimension introduced – the importance of getting the pot heads-up. Let me explain... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Multi-handed Pots, Part 2 Ashley Adams	Multi-way games can diverge from heads-up games in two significant ways. First of all, they can be passive -- meaning that you will be unlikely to have to call more than one bet per round -- much as in a heads-up game. Generally... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Multi-handed Pots, Part 1 Ashley Adams	I've recently read through my stud-poker literature. There isn't a whole lot out there. What there is focuses almost exclusively on heads-up situations. At the higher levels of stud, that's typically what good players face... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Recovery Ashley Adams	I made the greatest mistake anyone has ever made in a high/low declare stud game. Little children learning this game for the first time don't make this error. Old people, infirmed from Alzheimer's disease, with the few remaining intact... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Big Mistakes with Big Hands Ashley Adams	I see it all the time. The poor schlemiel in the three seat who has been calling along waiting for a big draw finally hits one. What does he do? See below. The hand starts off five-way when a player with a queen showing raises... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Tricky Moves, Part 1 Ashley Adams	Most of the time, against the typical stud opponent, you will make most of your money by playing in a straightforward manner. You will make money from the mistakes of your opponents, mistakes that he makes because he is not... more
Stud Poker Strategy: Spread Limit Considerations, Part 2 -- Exceptions Ashley Adams	In the first part of this two-part series I addressed strategy considerations for the loose and passive low-stakes spread-limit game, often played with no ante, like $1-5 and $1-3. It can often be frustrating to play... more
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
