I know how the game works and all, and I decided to give the 1 dollar tourney on Stars a try. After the first hour, I am currently sixth in chips out of about 300 or so, probably only due to luck.
Is there an online resource on the basics of stud (like starting hands etc). I have basically been playing like holdem and folding anything that isn't suited, connecting, or a pair, and then playing by pot odds from then on. Is this all there is to it?

In stud, starting hand values aren't as static as they are in holdem, since in stud there's a significant amount of information about the remaining constitution of the deck on 3rd street (in holdem, if you were holding 3-3, and somehow knew there were no 3's left in the deck, you would fold your hand without hestitation, but this type of information is never available in holdem). In general, you prefer to play only those hands which are statistically favored over the field of opponents (big pairs and rolled up trips), or drawing hands which stand a reasonable chance (meaning they are live) of outdrawing the current best hand (3-flushes, high 3-straights, small pairs with overcard kickers). As far as how to play the game beyond the first 3 cards, experience is probably the best way to learn.
