One of the key skills in deuce is distinguishing between rough and smooth hands, and basing your poker decisions on how rough or smooth your hand is. A rough hand is one where the gaps are among the lower (and hence more valuable) cards; a smooth hand is one where the gaps are among the upper (and hence less valuable) cards. The smoother your hand is, the lower the total of all your cards added together; the rougher your hand is, the higher the total.
It's not a good idea to back rough eights too strongly; not only will they be beaten by any seven, but they'll also be beaten by smoother eights. Last night, this happened to me on hand 34. My rough 8,7,6,4,2 lost to a smoother 8,7,5,3,2; I lost $220 on the hand. I hereby dub any 8,7,6 hand "deuce fool's gold", and will try to play them more sparingly in the future.
