Re: How valuable are implied odds in stud?
If I were frisky enough to raise that hand into that many cards I'd fold to the T's raise. Then I'd get up from the table before I continued spewing chips. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
In regards to implied odds in stud - I feel that the more ops in the hand the more valuable implied odds are. Same concept of raising a live 4 flush on 5th into multiple ops - the more ops the more value the raise has - the less ops the less value, and there is a point of negative value with few enough ops.
Raising with the 2/3 suited A98 is an example of negative value against more than 2 ops, in my opinion. It's such a poor hand that in fact it has little implied odds value and more steal value - hence the silliness of trying to steal through that many.
