Re: Questionable limp (Stud Hi)
 

Looks good to me. Your hand is completely live and you have a two-flush. I'm going to try to see 4th cheap a lot with this hand.

Re: Questionable limp (Stud Hi)
 

With the A-K-Q yet to act behind me I am going to dump this hand. If your pair was concealed it might be worth im my opinion. That said, I have a little more conservative game.

Re: Questionable limp (Stud Hi)
 

I'm thinking with the 4 flush on 5th It's a bet, but staring down the two dead hearts villain may be on a flush draw as well hurting my chances of a made flush here as well as chasing a worse flush

Re: Questionable limp (Stud Hi)
 

Dumping it is fine, you nit [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It's a trouble hand. I think I can get away with playing it against a passive lineup of 0.05/0.1 players. If your opponents play well its likely to be a loser.

Re: Questionable limp (Stud Hi)
 

I definitely play this hand. Even if it's not concealed a lot of people choose to never give credit for paired doors. You really have to bet 5th - you have been playing this hand exactly like a 3-flush so far

Re: Questionable limp (Stud Hi)
 

Dump the hand on 3rd. It's a chip burner, if your kicker was a king or ace then maybe play.

Re: Questionable limp (Stud Hi)
 

I play Third the same. Fourth you could raise. You'll be in position unless you improve and you could take a free card on Five if not. Fifth is a straight-up value bet, but taking the pot here is also fine. Bet Fifth for sure.

Six and river are good.

Re: Questionable limp (Stud Hi)
 

Looks OK. Folding third might be slightly better. Definitely bet fifth.

Re: Questionable limp (Stud Hi)
 

fold third. fold fourth. bet fifth. raise sixth. check seventh unimproved, but in your case bet/raise.
