Stud-hi beginner question.

[Andy B]

Most of the value of your hand comes from the fact that you have a three-flush. The straight possibility and the fact that you've got some decent high cards change this from a good hand to a very good hand, assuming your cards are reasonably live.

With all cards live, I would be willing to play for a cap, although I'd probably put in one raise at most myself.

With one club and all four Jacks gone, I would be willing to play this hand for two bets, although I wouldn't raise myself. Well, if I limped, the Ace made it a full bet, and four people called, I'd probably pop on the backside, but that's just me.

With two clubs gone, it becomes more marginal, but I probably still play it. The straight possibility helps.


Is editing things like "marignal" well after the fact an abuse of my mod powers?
