Default Re: Another multiway stud/8 hand

When considering whether to bet, ask what your goal is. Are you trying to get more money in the pot? Or do you want to limit the field? In this case I think you want to drop some low draws. There are 2 players with potential low draws, and if you can get one or two of them out your equity goes up considerably. Unfortunately if the bettor on 5th is one of them he's not going any where, probably. And the other guy as already called a bet. So I don't think you have any chance of getting a low draw to fold, even if they would anyway.

I'm actually a little curious what your equity is on 6th vs some likely hands. All 3 of your opponents have a pair on board, although for most of htem it's more likely they have 2 pair than trips, except Seat 5 who may have started with a 7 down. Given the relatively placid action on the table I don't think Seat 7 has trips or 67 for a straight, and I don't think Seat 4 has trips. Seat 5, well, who knows. Kind of looks like a maid low and a pair, or a low draw + pair, maybe a flush draw or something. The fact that he didn't raise 6th might just mean he wants 1/2 of 2 peoples dead money more than forcing you out.

I don't have enough experience in hand reading or estimating your equity there but I don't think I like a raise on 6th.

7th, who knows. Maybe Seat 5 just made a low, maybe he made a flush, maybe trip 7s or a full house, maybe just aces up or something. It is encouraging that no one else raised, I think any hand you have to be afraid of would probably have put in a raise.
