Re: Stud hi: What\'s your plan when 3-bet on 3rd by an overpair?

"If you're playing three-handed, that's a different story."
But we are playing 3 handed, BUT with 8 antes. The "different story" statement I don't get, because its this type of marginal play that makes the difference in winning and losing over the long run. You have to play these hands well, at the best price. If you don't, then you get no action when you do play.

Was going to say the exact same thing regarding antes.
I don't mean this to be disparaging at all, as I am (obviously) far from an expert at stud hi, but I think a lot of the 2+2 stud posters play good +EV games in a stud ring game while making significant mistakes in the shorthanded situations.
Another way of putting it, electrical, is that if you think folding 88 is proper here there is no question you should be stealing 100% with the A up.
You will be taking it down, versus proper-playing opponents far far more than the 1 in 3 or so you need for an immediate profit.
