Theres a guy at a game I play in that offers to play a heads up 7 stud hand against anyone at the end of the night. He only does this when hes up money and the catch is he lets you draw eight cards against his seven. How big statistically is the eight card players advantage against his seven card hand. Players sometimes take him up on it just wondering if the advantage is enough for me to consider it?:shrug:

I would take him up on it.
only questions I might have is, are you playing the hand for a flat rate or is there betting. If betting what are the limits. If you can get in cheap, look at your first 3 cards and if they sukc, fold...:shrug:

Others would know a lot more than me I am sure, but I would not think that one random hand of 7 stud would be that big of an advantage. It is an advantage I just dont think it is very big:shrug:
No betting in hand, the wager is decided upon before anyone sees the cards. He likes the action. Ive seen him play hands before blind, betting and not look until the river when he gets reraised. Generally he looses but when he wins he wins big. Still looking for an actual percentage wise advantage if anyone knows.
why wouldnt you do this as much as possible with this guy? Over time its impossible to be a losing proposition.
it sounds like you are just doing one hand and he gets seven cards and you get eight. all face up (at least in theory) since there is no betting. just a guess, but i'd say you have a 15-20% edge. that sounds about right, but i didn't do the math.
it sounds like you just bet a couple hundred and flip the cards up and best hand wins.
even with a 20% edge, you still are only playing one hand. if you do this forever, mathematically you can't lose. but you can lose 10 in a row and still be within standard deviation standards.
just make sure he isn't the guy dealing becuase then your win percentage could be closer to zero if he's any kind of a mechanic.

I wonder, if this guy made BDB an offer, WWBDBD?
:shrug:
Probably decline the guys offer, take only 5 cards vs the guys 9...and make 4 aces.
:SIB
Then, f uck his GF?

probably true, but you left out the part about kicking his ass, and making 5 aces.
