Re: 200/400 stud/8 hand that plays like stud high

Wah?
What is the hand you guys are afraid of that makes this an autofold?
Please explain this to me. I can only assume you think the J has aces up or trips. If so why do you think this is a likely holding compared to split aces, splits J's with an A kicker, or a flush draw with aces or threes.

At best you have thin equity. If you are up against split Js and Ks, one pair in each hand, you are in pretty good shape.
If you are beat in either spot, you are in terrible shape. It is just too much to hope for.
If either player hits 6th, you are virtually locked out, whereas the only card(s) that can make your hand on 6th and get action are the 2 remaining Qs.
It is not enough to be ahead more than half the time here. Being a slight fav 60% of the time diesn't balance the 40% of the time you're buried. (Example estimates of course).
