Ok, there is a home game that is 5/10 with a mixed game, they play some omaha, h/l and stud h/l but i hear they mostly play stud h/l and there is a bunch of loose bets and raises, so should i play in this game, because i'm a begninner at stud h/l and how much should i have in my bankroll when i sit down?

I think Stud Hi/Lo is the most easy money around, you just have to follow a few rules and you can turn a profit at it!
1: Always play for both the hi and the low, and if your playing one or the other you have to be verry strong in that direction. Chasing in both directions is suicide. Also A48o is not great as there is no straight possibilities and an opportunity for a bad low.
2: When you hit a paint on 4th street, drop the hand. Dont keep chasing and calling the big bets.
3: Know when to play a hand multi-way or heads up. A34 is a great multi-way hand, especially suited while AA4 per instance is a heads-up hand as the more hands involved the more chances you have of getting beat for hi!
Hope this helps.

I'd recommend minimum 300BB possible 500BB to be comfortable. To be honest I would practice online at smaller stakes first before jumping into live 5/10 play. Oh and read up on Skalansky's Stud book as well.

thanks for the advice and i am playin the low .10/.2o limits right now, but i need to know on omaha h/l should i just play every hand for do i need to be selective on that as well, because those guys do call every single hand when it's omaha.
