[Dankenstein]

Thanks for all the responses. I'm very new to stud so I appreciate any help. In response to 2461badugi no it wasn't play money; however, considering it was only a 5.50 tourney on FTP it was pretty close. I almost felt like I was playing bingo. Perhaps this is because I am so inexperienced at stu, but I felt like a lot of people felt that as soon as they were in a pot they had to keep calling to the river. I guess the 3 bet on third was a strong indicator that a pair of dueces wasn't good.My thinking on calling was that I thought well it was only so much to call and if I spike a duece on 4th I'm great if not I'm out. I now realize this mindset is incorrect. I'm probably giving away bets this way and if I do spike the 3rd deuce like I did it is probable that it won't hold until the river.
