seven card stud 8-or better

most books tell us that the two best starting hands in seven card stud/8 are rolled up aces or fives.  many people have asked me why fives?  because they block straights from the wheel to nine.  but trust me the best starting hand in this hard to find casino game is 3-4-5 suited with the hope of catching a suited 2 or six on fourth street.  even an unsuited 2 or 6 will give you a hand to bang till the cows come home.  many books will tell you to give up the ship when catching a brick on fourth street and this is not bad advice but if you can see fifth street for one bet it is correct to take one off with this hand.
