I play HORSE quite a bit & I find that i play really well in everything except Stud. I just find that i have a much higher win rate in all other games especially Razz. Even though I still have trouble with Stud is being good @ the other 4 games good enough to go far in big tournys

It can be good enough, sure, provided you really tighten up at the game you're not good at and be aggro when you have it. Nothing bleeds a stack like calling down 5 streets with a speculative hand.

I'd guess you're putting money in on 3rd with middle-low pairs, all rainbow connectors and any 3-flush regardless of position or up cards. These are hands that have a time and place but you probably want to stay away from them at first. Stick to rolled up trips, TT+, three-flushes with a K and/or A with 2 or fewer of your suit out, and three to a straight only with at least one paint card in there (ie. 9TJ+) and only if nearly all the cards you need are live.

You'll want to consider your up card, opponent up cards and position to determine whether to limp, complete, call a completion etc. pre-flop. Post some hands if you want specific input because it's pretty situational.

TLR is an unknown quantity at this point
Stus is also my weakest game at HORSE or 8 game, Benny's advice is correct, tighten up and play your strong hands straight forward, I would go with a slightly different starting hand selection, but the general idea is the same

Yeah, if there is ever a game where a good and simple starting hands chart just isn't possible, it's Stud Hi.
