Re: stud/8 - flush + low
 

More bets on fourth, fifth, and sixth please. The river is just a sucky spot, but you should have avoided it by getting HU much earlier.

Shouldn't the guys behind me be folding most hands on 4th anyways? To me I feel Seat 5 will call two bets on 5th Street if he's going to call one. You'd 3-bet 6th with one card to come?

They should, but you want to encourage them anyway. 87 draws tend to make 87s, and get into ugly situations late in multiway pots.

I don't really get why you wouldn't get as many bets as possible in on sixth, with a made ace-flush against what seems to be a king-flush and a draw. You're much better off on sixth than you are on the river when S5 wakes up.

Can he really put me on anything other than a flush on 6th? And if so, he doesn't seem to care that I've got the A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], so doesn't isn't his raise saying he's got the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and knows his flush is better?

Is the suggestion to raise 6th primarily to drive out Seat 5 or would you still raise it HU vs. Seat 2?

What happened on 3rd-6th?

I'd happily jam this HU vs. S2. Putting him on the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] seems like mild MUBS to me.

Re: stud/8 - flush + low
 

The A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is in the hole. For all he knows, you're betting a low, a worse flush, or something else. If you knock out the probable low hand, that's wonderful. You greatly increase your scoop chances. I wouldn't expect him to fold a credible low draw very often, though. Failing to three-bet sixth is in crime-against-humanity territory.

How come Six-draws don't tend to make Sixes? Huh?

Mine do. Maybe your boomswitch isn't working properly.
