Re: stud 8 - prof backwards
I think it's okay to try and knock out a player on fourth. I think that it's a bit more dubious to try to do so on fifth.
Let's say that you lead on fifth and the 5T8 calls, which he just might because it is only one more bet. If the low board then raises, the 5T8 will probably also call if you just call, assuming he just called your first bet. Should you then raise to drive out the third player, knowing that the possible made low will most likely cap it?
If it gets capped on fifth and the third player is not knocked out, what is your strategy if you don't improve on sixth?
