So I always enjoyed the game of STUD, but it was not until recently(about a month ago, or less), when I saw one of our Pro-Rails at a $.50/$1(I will leave their name out, to protect the innocent

) on
FTP that I decided to see what would happen if I played. In the past, I had only played a few 9-player $5 SnG, and did not do so well., but still enjoyed it.
I am by no means a STUD pro, but I would like to think I have a fairly decent understanding of how it works...just don't ask Perry Friedman what he thinks of me...lmao! Simply put, he is not a big fan, wonder if that has anything to do with me taking some of his money. I will have to see if I can dig those hands up. Anyways, an I Eat convinced me to play $2/$4 the first weekend I had started playing, so these first two hands, are from that experience.
I want your take on it...am I a donk, really lucky, or do I have a natural knack for this game...as I am very profitable from the ring games!

Yes, I know, I am only showing a few hands, of the hundreds I have played, but it is a fairly fair assesment of how I have been doing...and I am up considerbly more than I am down. Any input would be appreciated...thanks!

Just kidding I have watched a lot of your stud play and I would say you definately have a knack for the game. You rock sunshine!
