Default Re: $10/20 stud/8 (HORSE)--Fun with J93

extremely standard imo. i dont think you should raise 4th because then it turns your hand face up. its better to let him think youre on a 3 card low and bricked then to gain marginal value in a checkraise. by playing it that way you end up getting in a 5th street checkraise the way you did when both of you brick. the one downside of this however is that if you catch a baby and he bricks youll have to lead out because he probably wont bet a low draw to an 8 if you check to him. still though, playing it this way lets you value bet on 7th with a pair of jacks and youll get called by a busted low pair of 8s or whatever, whereas if you raised 4th he wont call with that as its obvious you have an overpair.
