I actually have a hard time with Stud games - there are too many cards to pay attention to. My real favorite is Omaha Hi/Lo, which does still have the shared cards, but the math and hand selection is more difficult. I've just not gotten good enough at that to play at Foxwoods. There is generally only one low limit table playing O8, and I've heard that everyone who plays there is an Omaha specialist. Someday, maybe. More of a Stud guy then.

"Little bit" and "addiction" are usually two concepts I place as mutually exclusive. We're not going to have to stage an intervention for you are we? ;-) Just kidding, but I do think it's interesting to hear how your winnings/losings go if only 'cause eventually I may be going through Vegas on my way to Cali (perhaps Thanksgiving) and I may stop to play a game or two. Just not Texas Hold 'em, I just don't think of that as "real" poker. I don't like the games where you share the majority of the up cards with other players at the table.
