Re: 1/2 Too Loose? Too passive?
[ QUOTE ]
This will be at least a 3 way, possibly 4 way, pot with a fairly live multi-way hand. [/ QUOTE ] I agree with you Jeff, as I explained in my original post in this thread. Also, let me reiterate something I said in my first post: this is a 1/2 stud game at PokerStars. Inasmuch as there has been some discussion in this forum lately comparing stud games at PS with FTP, I think this is a good example of how you might play this hand differently at these two sites. Because of the ante/BI/completion ratio at PS, I think your call on 3rd, Jeff, is correct, because you know at least the limper already in the hand is going to call the completion and so the hand is likely going to be at least three-way until 5th street. OTOH, if you were in this position at FTP calling the completion would be less correct because it would be less likely that the limper or anyone else would call the completion because of the larger ratio between completion and BI.

Re: 1/2 Too Loose? Too passive?
Call on Third is marginal unless you know you will have company. If there had been very little folding on Third, then the call could be profitable.
Fourth is probably a fold. Your straight cards are compromised (8,3,4) and you risk a raise behind you. Fifth, you have a strong hand, and you bet it like you're supposed to. I would be willing to get a lot of chips in the pot here. Sixth, don't get tricky. Raise. You'll get a call from the original bettor, which puts the same amount of profit in the pot as an overcall, but you don't risk letting the third man catch perfect to beat you. If the third guy cold calls, so much the better. You shouldn't fear a boat here since you didn't get raised on Five, so be willing to go to war with the Aces if you get raised. The river would probably be played differently if you showed more interest in your hand earlier. I suspect you'd be checked-to, and you'd bet. You can only call if raised though.

Hello,Brad! If U will play this hand on 4th Str. in 1/2 game,...
there is no reason NOT to play the same way in a higher limit game.
If U fear being raised from behind,then U should NOT play 4TH in a 1/2 game either. Or is it that the 1/2 players are more reluctant to play aggressively than the higher limit players? If so,then U are probably correct in UR assessment. Happy pokering, SittingBull
