Re: Stud hi - how often do you decide to call down a paired doorcard?
A lot [for me] depends on whether the small pair now open was the original bring in AND they brought it in for the full amount/completed.
A lot of times [in the live games I've played around LA], a bring in with split fours and a burried ace / king will complete for the full bet [regardless of what high cards are acting behind]...
Then they get married to the hand even thought it's an additional bet or two to them on 3rd street. In this situation I will fold if they bet the full amount on fourth and/or take the lead on 5th.
However, if the small pair was the bring-in / first to act and just limped, then called 2 bets cold. I'll continue with my big burried pair working with the assumption they have two smaller pair and I'm drawing live.
Does this make sense?
