An interesting 2/4 stud 8 hand.

[bigredlemon]

7 Card Stud High-Low ($2/$4), Ante $0.25, Bring-In $1 (hand converter (http://www.geocities.com/greenage22/7StudConverter.htm))


Seat 7: His action is: 40% bets, 40% calls, 20% folds. 0% raise. Not doing so well.
Seat 6: Probably a good holdem player, but not experienced at stud8. (Overvalues high hands like any 3 broadway, will jam a strong 1way hand forcing out people drawing dead the other way)

I think this is one of those hands that could be played in a lot of ways without being too wrong. Thoughts? I predict a lot of people saying I don't have enough to continue on fifth.

Since you called 4th I think I'd probably check-call 5th although that does look really weak since your board is one you feel like you should be leading out on. You got raised here and now you're in a tight spot. Especially if Seat 6 doesn't appreciate and put you on a good low starting hand. Do you think he'd play split Jacks this strongly? Depending on how reasonable he is, I figure he has to have a big pair or rolled Jacks. AA is pretty unlikely since you can already see two of them. Who knows what the other guy has.

I doubt 6th is worth a bet since you likely face another raise back to you and you're still drawing. I'd just call the river as well.

The only spot to fold I guess is fifth street. Based on your description of the player, I'm not sure if I fold it or not. Honestly, the guy that has me worried is seat 7. I don't know if he would play split aces this way, but I don't like him in the hand one bit.

The only place to fold would be when it is one back to you on fifth, but I probably don't make this fold given your descriptions of them

some players would raise here with jacks up, trying to eliminate the low hand - you are in a tough spot because you don't know where you're at. What do you do on 6th st. if the Jack bets & the low hand improves and raises: I think you're forced to go bye bye, and this is why it's a strong play here on 5th st. with jacks up.
