7 Card Stud Game at Foxwoods

As promised, I played some limit 5/10 7 Card Stud while at Foxwoods. As roryk suggested, these games are not as "whiny" as the HE games. In the end, I didn't play very long: about 2.5 hours and 79 hands, winning three of those. I lost about $20 (just two BBs, basically all due to the last hand I played).

Mostly, I played a straightforward strategy: playing only big pairs or big drawing hands, and folding on fourth street if they didn't improve. I only played my big pairs beyond fourth street when heads up against certain players and when I felt confident that I had the best hand. The "certain players" were those who would call on third street with just big cards, hoping to pair. I could watch their boards and be sure that they hadn't improved. They had enough tells that I could pretty reliably fold my small one pair if they improved.

( However, this did get me into a bit of trouble on two hands against the same calling station. )
