Tips on hand selection in 7 card stud hi/lo

[EllaGrace]

I am going to play in a home game tonight, but they want to play 7 card hi/lo, which everyone seems ok with, but I've never played 7 card Stud Hi/lo. Just Omaha Hi/Lo and Razz, and reg 7 card.

Any pointers? What are great hands, marginal hands, toss em hands, etc

I play:
Every medium/high pair (T or high I raise)
Three suited cards
Three connected cards
Three "low than 8" cards (if more than one player in the pot and nobody betting like a maniac)

A lost are of stud is remembering the up cards of every player. Alot of the decisions that you can make about your hand are already given to you. If you like your hand versus the up cards of everyone else and they're live, fire a raise to take down the pot early. Even if called occasionally, when you do have a monster, it'll get paid off.
