Stud Hi 3/6

[preiserone]

I know 3rd should probably be a completion, any changes other than that?

[greenage]

I would have raised fifth.

[benwood]

I like the way you played it.If you don't raise 5th,he will probably bet 6th almost all of the time.By waiting,you get a chance to make sure that a 5 or 6 doesn't hit the board & then he had less of a chance to fill up.If he has only 2 pair or even 6's only + a straight &/or flush draw,he will still usually call you anyway since your straight is pretty well hidden.

I would raise/call the river too,but I think that just calling the bet is a reasonable play.

[Alex/Mugaaz]

I don't like raising 7th.

[beta1607]

3rd should definitely be a completion - you have a great chance to steal here and if you get called you likely have a lot of equity.

For the rest of the hands I agree with both Greenage and Alex's comments.

I think raising 6th is better than raising fifth. There is nothing gained by raising fifth and betting sixth. If you wait till sixth you get more money in as a bigger favorite. If he hits some horrible card you can choose to simply call it down.

Thats what I was thinking, it looked like he was going flush and I didn't want to put in the extra bet if he hit 6th.

Yea, your probably right, this is an easy semi-steal.

[Andy B]

Definitely raise third. I would raise fifth, but waiting until sixth is fine. When he bets into you on the river, it looks like he has filled up. If he's over-aggressive, you might raise, but I think calling is better against most opponents.

[preiserone]

This guys was pretty aggressive so I didn't take his bet as a made hand, I thought his range was big enough for a raise, but that could have been wrong.

Anyway, The guy just had a busted straight draw and rivered trip 6's.
