Default Re: Stud 8 - Nice-sized pot, did I miss some bets?

A 3rd street raise would be great IF it didn't eliminate anyone.

However if the players are competent I would expect the Q to 3-bet and the J to fold, which is a big loss.

Also incidentally your hand is not very live with a 5 and a 2 out.

And no value in leading out 6th as Alchemist said.

Granted they're not totally live, but seeing as how I was against 2 obv. highs, any A,2,5,7,8 gives me a 4-card low going up against what could only improve to a 3-card low (but fairly certain, they have high pocket pairs).

And pairing wouldn't be completely awful as I don't think they hold any of my cards which could possibly allow me to back into a high.

Is this bad thinking on my part?

No you're right, it's a great spot to be against two high hands.

I was just pointing out that your hand is not really that live, as I think you said in your original post.
