80/160 Stud 8 simple 4th street spot
 

4 handed BEOT. Villain here seems to be fairly weak at Stud 8 and will defend his BI lightly, if he has two flush and two wheel cards he's going nowhere. Ace+low+broadway I'm sure is sufficient also. He will also peel 4th-5th very light when he bricks and he'll pay off with pretty much anything with some shot of winning a piece of the pot.

$20 ante/$20 BI. Villain is BI with 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. The 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] fold, I complete (2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img])4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], villain calls

4th:
Villain: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Me: (2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img])4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I check, he bets

You're a dog to pretty much anything. It doesn't sound like you're going to get this guy to fold much of anything at any point. How likely is it that the other guy is going to give you free cards when you want them? There's $240 in the pot before this round. Do you want to pay $560 to see if maybe you can get half of it? Tens are just brutally awful cards in this game. I think I let this one go.

Is this a regular game somewhere?

Yeah thats such a bad card for you.

You could possibly call and c/f 5th but really thats a ghey line.

I spose you should just bin it right row.

Apparently this is a fairly regular game at the Bike a few days a week, this week is the first time I've played it.

What's a full game? Six players? That's a good number for triple draw, OK for stud/8, and less OK for O/8, at least my O/8 game, which is geared towards having seven people see the flop and three of them pay me off when I hit the nuts.

I assume 8 handed but we were never more than 5 handed and 3-4 most the night anyway.

Re: 80/160 Stud 8 simple 4th street spot
 

Wouldn't you be shuffling the discards like every hand in triple draw?

Re: 80/160 Stud 8 simple 4th street spot
 

The UTG/UTG+1 do not get hands during triple draw in 8 handed games so it becomes 6 max for triple draw.

This is an easy fold IMO.

I know he will defend his BI with anything, but I would still just throw it away. Its all about the playability of your hand. And right now, it sucks!

Fold and wait for a better opportunity.

(This is at the Bike? They're moving up. I played in a 20-40 version of this game about a year ago, and it was pretty sweet, worth playing in when I knew essentially nothing about Badugi.)
