How much experience do you have playing Stud High? The analysis that goes into making decisions in this game is probably more subtle and complex than you appreciate.
Of the Stud players I play against regularly on Pokerstars, I have a sense of the relative skill level of each, which is a decent intuitive proxy for the amount of skill required to play the game (as opposed to other games where the "good" players play roughly the same way).
