Re: Stud8 - play (A8)5 in this spot?
Sure the eight in your hand sucks; but you really don't know whether the bring-in's hand has actually improved, or if she caught a sucker pair of deuces, or started out with a pair, etc.
You may...

Re: Why do people play Hi hands in Stud 8/b???
Running hands on twodimes is invaluable; and at the same time it is well to remember that one's equity on third or fourth street can be very misleading. Sure you can have more than your share of...

Re: Weird folds in stud8
In the first hand, it sure looks to me like the villain has a hand like (KK)4 or (JJ)4 -- (QQ)4 is a little less likely because a Q is gone. I know some players who are that aggressive with small...

Re: Stud hi call down with two pair

Re: Stud 8: did I miss a bet?
I don't like reraising on third street here. Above and beyond the fact that OP says that there is little fold equity here, the basic situation is that the OP is behind, and, while getting a decent...

Re: aces in stud 8

Re: To nitty? Stud8
You've got a crippled low hand, and a mediocre high hand at best. An overcard is active in the hand.
Muck it and wait for a better opportunity.

Re: Best site for Stud?
