Re: 30/60 Stud8 vs. Fossilman
first: don't be in any hurry to mix it up with HIM.
but... i think you're line is really weak here, i would complete third, jam fifth, and check/call 6th and 7th, no matter what. how are you possibly behind both ways on fifth? you've got him crushed! milk it, and expect at least half the pot. i may even be inclined to raise 6th to force out what looks like a weak draw to a hi hand. you still have scoop potential on sixth!

I usually play this on 3rd but my good-playing friends say I'm too loose there and on paper I think this is a fold.

WHAT!? [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]this is a PREMIUM hand. i'd play it NO MATTER WHAT, and try to get four bets in on third if i can (seroiusly, even if i KNEW raymer had rolled 222, I'd STILL wanna jam it!). A44 with a live suit?! seriously... this is like one of the top 20 or so possible starting hands in stud/8. I go to WAR with it, EVERY time. geez. you rock, you.
