Re: Weird folds in stud8
In the first hand, it sure looks to me like the villain has a hand like (KK)4 or (JJ)4 -- (QQ)4 is a little less likely because a Q is gone. I know some players who are that aggressive with small pairs in the hole, so (55)4 or (66)4 is possible, too.
And when *I* play brick pairs, I *really* don't like it when my opponent catches an ace. And since the other player has bet out twice, on fourth and fifth, with a small pair showing, that ace is really bad news for a brick pair. Maybe it's correct to call down with hidden kings, but I'd be strongly tempted to let the hand go at that point.
In the second hand, two players drawing with weak crap ran into a super high hand. Represented aces turned into represented trip aces. Buh-bye.
