difference between stud hi-lo and stud 8/b...if any

Just read the last couple of blogs from Daniel and noticed that when he listed the games he wrote Stud Hi-Lo Regular and Stud 8 or better. I was always under the impression that these games were one in the same. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Stud 8 or better has a quailifier on all low hands that they be better (worse) then an 8.So the worst low hand you can have is 8,7,6,5,4. if you have 9,4,3,2,A, it doesn't count as a low hand.Stud Hi/Lo has no quailifier, you can win with a K low. It is also much harder to win money.Stud 8 is generally called Hi/Lo because true Hi/Lo isn't played much anymore. But most internet poker sites are wrong when they list that they have stud or omaha hi/lo games, since they are all Stud and Omaha 8 or better.later,Noah

Cool, thx. I figured that's what it was, but wanted to make sure.
