Re: Stud hi - thoughts on playing 3 2 a straight.
[ QUOTE ]
Third's a fold. Using Roy West's rule of thumb, if we count "near" cards (Queen and Eight) as one point, and "not-so-near" cards (King and Seven) as a half-point, you've got three points. You need 1.5 or fewer to make this a playable hand. A two-flush with two clubs gone is nowhere near enough to swing this to a call.

Thanks for the comments. I didn't just play for the stragh but had over-cards if the queen folded.
I think after the comments i should have folded on 3rd as this wins more time in the long run.
I think I heard Roy Wests name being mentioned in a previous thread. I assume he has also written a decent 7CS book
