Re: 10/20 LO8 starting hand
A2 excepted, I generally throw away any hand with which I cannot make more than one straight with an ace. A36x might be another exception.

Re: 10/20 Stud 8 Live

I checked, Seat 7 checked, Seat 8 thought and checked, and turned over a 75 low, but I didnt see what his high hand was. I scooped the pot. Never saw what Seat 7 had, but he was a little...

Re: 10/20 Stud 8 Live
I thought for sure seat 8 would bet a 75 low, even without a high hand, hence making a CR the best play.

Re: Stud 8: Hi, Variance...
I don't find a fold anywhere.
4th is a call. You picked up enough help, the pot was made too big on 3rd, and you're closing the action. In fact, the additional callers in this hand might be...

Re: Live 3/6 vs. 1/5 ?
They really should pass around a dealer button at the 3/6 and have that player post an ante of $1.
