Todd Brunsons section in SS2
Ray Zee split pot games is also good
Probably the best two in my opinion. |

| If your relying on Helmuths book for the basics, good luck with that. I read it and there are several things I disagree on. The Ray Zee book is a MUCH better book. Todd Brunson has a pretty good section as well. |

theharm, on this site, there is no difference.
At some casinos, however (and perhaps other sites) you can find split games with no requirement for low. In such a case A2234 could win low, if everyone else could not make five cards with less than a pair of twos. This game is different in many ways, but primarily because there is always a low half of the pot. That means there should be a lot less folding of busted low draws, for example. However, given the overall similarity, I'll bet Sklansky's section in SS1 would be worth the read. |

Play poker like the pros is good for the basics. If you didnt agree with it, that is becaues you were probably beyond the basics.
Hellmuths book followed by SS2 will do you good and you can probably find both at a library.
The different between S8b and Stud Hi/Lo
S8b (also called stud hi/lo) a hand has to be 8 or better to qualify for the low
Stud hi/lo split (also called Stud hi/lo split no qualifier) there is no qualifier for the low.
QJT98 beats KQJT9 for a low. |

slightly different...
in stud/8, a low has 2 QUALIFY by 5 of the 7 cards being unpaired,
and 8 or lower
split does not have this qualifier, u can have A2349 or 9TJQK
and it could still be a low
the high hands still play the same
