Default Re: Andy B actually lays down a hand--$30/60 stud/8

So calling there definitely means calling one more bet, and I think *that's* ok, but yeah, calling 2 more when the low board can (and probably will) cap behind you... I guess I'd have to fold there.

Hi-lo games are games of ad hoc collusion. The high hand and the low hand try to identify each other and whipsaw the field. If I have the high hand, and another high hand is doing the whipsawing, that's just as good as doing it myself. It is only important that the pot be built, not who's doing it. So I don't think that being caught in the middle here is necessarily a bad thing.

The question is, of course, is Andy beat. I'd be more worried about the 6-high straight than the KK. But of course, I still have outs against a straight. Another question in my mind is whether KK knows that Andy has QQQ--is there another hand he can put him on, or is he even thinking about what Andy might have.
