Stud8 - Day 8, Hand 2: Shorthanded flush draw

[Aaron W.]

This is more short-handed play. Seat 3 has shown himself to be very aggressive and very loose. I have no idea what I'm doing here.

I might slow down on 6th since he's called you this far. I have no idea what to put him on though.

[getfunky]

i play this exactly the same. you must be aggressive shorthanded. i'd put him on a good low draw with a gutshot or better a pair of 4's or a medium pair. i love the bet on 6th, figuring he's likely still on a draw.

Your hand is huge in two directions, and in heads-up stud games, the more aggressive player has a significant advantage. I play it the same.
