Shorthanded Stud/8, Only Low Card Completes Bring-In

FWIW I ran a sim with the following parameters:

Hero has T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain has xx xx 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Dead cards: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] since it's shorthanded and all the other players have big cards.

Hero's equity was generally 44.5-45%.

Tweaking Hero's hand and the dead cards didn't change the numbers much.

Those numbers are very misleading though.

Even a stud 8 donk will tend to give you credit for an overpair when you reraise him with a Q-T up. This will cause him to make ftop errors on 4th or 5th when both of you keep bricking. (E.g. when he winds up with 237J9 and you have KQJ46 and he folds 5th.)

His actual winshare is a lot lower than his pot equity.
