Re: Big pot in Razz

The converter may have called it high, but it was Razz. Notice that the T brings it in.

Big pot in Razz

I was playing HORSE and this Razz hand came up. Table was playing pretty LAGy. Thoughts?

Re: Common situation in BI (Stud Hi)

I wouldn't bother betting 4th. You're going to have to improve to win.

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...

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: Stud hi - flushdraw 3-way, becomes tricky

Strange hand. I think you played it fine. I don't think you can bet/fold 7th. It needs to be bet/call unless it comes back 2 cold to you.

I'm interested in seeing your opponent's hands. Seat...

Re: Stud8 - playing a pair of J

I would guess his most likely hands are four to a low or a pair of Aces.

I think 5th would be a fold if our opponent had caught another low card on 5th instead of the T, correct?

Re: Mundane Stud Hi Hand

I would guess he either made Ts up or he has a pair bigger than Js in the hole.

Re: .5/1 Razz hand

What is the downside to 3-betting? A small edge is still an edge. I want to punish the goofball for raising his draw to an 8 against my "wheel" draw. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It also makes...

Re: stud/8 hand, what a mess

Yuck.

Fold 4th. You're behind both ways in a tiny pot.

The rest of the hand is a good example as to why you should have folded 4th. I think you're stuck with it after making trips, but at...

Re: (razz) bawling calldown

Yeah, this is ugly. I think I go with one of my general rules on the river:

The pot's big, my opponent is really bad, I can imagine 3 cards that he could turn up that I beat, I call.

Re: Why do people play Hi hands in Stud 8/b???

862 rainbow is pretty ragged. If your opponents are passive and real bad, you can get away with it, but folding is better. Andy is right. Fear the Aces behind you.

On fourth, I would be...

Re: (stud8) how best to handle 4th st?

I think that if you check, the 2,5 is usually going to bet, not the King. Even if it worked out and it checked to the King that bet, the low-draws are not likely to fold.

You're behind both ways,...

Re: Stud8 - Kinda-steal with kinda-ok hand in kinda-ok spot

That does help your chances. I never bother with hands like this though, although I currently only play 1-2 and 2-4. I find so many hands where I have a big edge that I don't see any reason to mess...

Re: Stud8 - Kinda-steal with kinda-ok hand in kinda-ok spot

I think 3rd is a fold. You have a trash hand. You can't steal the antes, as someone has entered the pot, albeit with a hand that may actually be worse than yours.

The two factors that make it a...

These hands are a leak of mine as well. I have a hard time mucking a live garbage hand like this, but when you don't you face this issue quite a bit.

I would save the bet on 7th.

Re: Razz: Would you play this diffirent?

I don't think he's folding anything. If he called on 3rd with a Ten, he's going to look you up.

I'd check 7th.

Re: Stud hi - buried aces in multiway pot - linecheck

You want to bet 5th to give all of the people who called for the cheap cards a chance to fold for the expensive cards. A lot of people will call with a small pair until 5th, but fold if they haven't...

Re: aces in stud 8

I think you need to separate Aces with a big kicker from Aces with a small kicker. Small is much better.

In a multiway pot, you need ways for your hand to win the whole pot. That little kicker...

Re: Anyone else play $1-$2 HORSE at FTP?

This is really the way to deal with your weak games. Just play real tight. I'm pretty bad at Razz. I don't have a good feel for the game, and I end up in trouble a lot.

However, even I am...
