Default Re: Stud8 - How to play a straight in this tricky spot?

I'm neutral about raising 3rd and 4th. You have a good hand and there's a lot of dead money coming along for the ride so you want to build the pot as much as possible, but given your position, you aren't knocking out any sort of low draw and the only people who will fold are the dead money that you want to call.

On 5th, you have a powerful two way hand. The heart flush is dead as can be and the scary low is playing like he has crap-all. Seat 3-4-5 have seen enough cheap cards that maybe one of them will come along for the ride when you raise. Bet 6th and 7th.
