You dont look at your own cards before starting with stud, this is a rule you first look at the board reall fast , so you can see every single card, but heres the deal , you dont have to rememorize every card, i can but you dont have to do that, just look if you see a card that you need to make your hand , if its out there 1 or more times , i suggest not much giving your hand a value since your cards are already out, you only need to keep track of the cards you need . or think your opponent needs after your playing . then again , if your on the flush draw and your holding 3 of the same suits, quikly check what your oponnents are showing , if you see 2 of your suit , i dont really would do much with the hand just then calling and hoping for 2 suits to come, and look if opponents dont have higher , or a full . stud is hard to explain

you need good eyes with a some id of % ..
If you have any comments , or dont think this is the way to play stud pls advice me then ;-)
