I've recently gotten hooked on 7 stud. For me it's easier to clear bonuses with. I gotta play .25/.50 or higher to clear bonus. I hate limit HE, so this means $50 NLHE, which I end up losing $50 to clear a $20 bonus, no good.

I think i've come to the conclusion that I hate limit anything... 7 stud limit is suckout heaven. You can have a set on 3rd and someone will suck out on you. You can complete with KK-A door, get another A on 4th and someone will suck out on you. I've played people that will goto showdown against you with a pair of 2s when you have 4 suited showing, catch a 2nd pair on 6th, and the boat on 7th. I've had a boat on 5th that got sucked out... Limit is just so frustrating I can't see why anyone would subject themselves to it. Yet we still do.

I really like 7 stud PL though. Maybe it's because I turned $20 into $230 inside an hour.
The site I play hardly has any 7 stud tables, so I have to assume this is due to the same suckouts wandering to the PL table and having no idea what playing real cards is like. Which I have no problem with. I just like having the ability to put my money in when I have the best of it. The game shouldn't be played where you get a great hand early on and then have to worry whether it's gonna get sucked out. It should be where you have the best hand and you make someone pay dearly and let them worry about it. Just my opinion.
