Re: Mundane Stud Hi Hand
I prefer a raise on 3rd street even with the overcards behind you, because, if you just call and they call, too, then you have a harder time knowing what they actually have, plus, you give them a...

Re: 15/30 must see...
Not that it would've changed the outcome or anything, but I may have check/called the flop just in case his preflop 3-bet was with a high-type hand, or an AAXY hand. Not only would you be a clear...

Re: [LO8] to 3bet or not to 3bet?
Every street was bet and raised so I'm pretty sure the rake has already been maxed out.
You have one option on the river and it isn't even close. Reraise. You can NOT lose, and he can. If you can...

Re: (stud8) how best to handle 4th st?
Whether you should check or bet out on 4th street isn't NEARLY as important as the decision you chose on 3rd. Yeah, you can wind up catching good down the road, but you are starting out at a...

Re: Why do people play Hi hands in Stud 8/b???
You asked why people play high hands in stud 8/b. I agree that most high-hand type hands are not going to play well in this game. But, don't let that mislead you into thinking that ALL 3 card low...

Re: Stud8 - play (A8)5 in this spot?
If betting 4th seems pointless, then calling a bet on 5th street shouldn't be far behind.
I would MUCH rather put a feeler bet out on 4th to see how the other (apparent) low draw reacts, and to...

Re: Stud8, A8A - capped on 3rd
Rolled Kings would NEVER check 5th street when the action gets to him, especially seeing how ultra aggressive he was before that. When the 9 doorcard makes open J's and checks, if he had KKK, he...

Re: LO8
Hey Buzz,
I guess there is a better chance that the button doesn't take a flier if we handle the flop differently. I agree with that. I guess it's just Howzit's position that makes things uglier...

Re: AKK3 3/6 FLO8
Betting this flop is fine (although noone with an A2 is folding), but, we're trying to knock out anyone who might be sharing an A3, and we're also betting to put pressure on mediocre drawing hands...

Re: To nitty? Stud8
Depends on the players. Would a double raise knock out the Queen? Your implied odds aren't that great, because most astute players won't take their hands pass a certain point if you catch an Ace...

Well, the rule should still be the same.

Re: Stud8 - cold calling 2 ok with A96 diamonds?
Usually, with these types of hands, I want everything just right. I'm not being a nit, it's just that these hands are trailing to a big pair(like AA), and they are also trailing to a 3 card low. I...

Re: StudH/L 30/60 Question
Raise 5th, see how he and the Q react to it, and reevaluate on 6th. I would think that if the Q doorcard had QQ or better, he would've raised you on 3rd. I think the other player probably hit 2 pair,...

Re: LO8 - Playing bad low hand on button A664
I don't mind the raise preflop at all. You've got position...3 working cards with a suited Ace, and a decent chance to steal the blinds.
Flop: If you can bet that flop against 2 opponents, you...

Re: Dead Kings
I would fold.
In order for you to feel really good about proceeding on with this hand, is if both low hands catch bricks and/or if noone hits an Ace, because as soon as someone does, it's bye-bye...
