Stud Pre "flop"
Yeah I agree fully with your stud mentality. Its always helpful to know that you have a better chance of a flush when you are three suited if no one else has your suit, but also I make the mistake of overbetting my flush when I have it and then miss that someone else is working on a flush in another suit with a higher kicker or everyone folds immediately and i lose potential winnings. I have also noticed that in stud, though there are seven cards the chances of a flush when you have four suited out of five cards are the exact same as a HOLD'EM game...And I am sure everyone here knows what happens to people who continue to pot bet flush draws in HOLD'EM. I prefer having two pair with a straight/full draw. Same methodology applies to your initial cards. If you are looking for fours and sixes make sure no one else has even one because then your chances of filling up your two pair go through the cracks quick.
