Re: How valuable are implied odds in stud?
What you really seem to be asking is if it's OK to call a raise after you've bluffed a fairly large amount into a very small pot. The answer, I guess, is yes - *if* you think you're going to catch. This same reasoning is used by all the fish at the table, who can't make correct folds when they know they're sufficiently behind in a limit game. Catching and getting paid off isn't justification for making bad decisions early in a hand - no matter if it's a fish or Phil Ivey (or both).
