Re: Stud Hi - Low Stakes Basic Question
Third is somewhat marginal with all the dead cards. I think the call is correct in part because the ante is high and your call closes the action. If you had T98 and a Queen and a Jack were gone, you'd probably play that, right? If you had a three-flush with two of your suit gone, you'd probably play that for a quarter, right? I think the combination of possibilities makes this worth a quarter.
Fourth came down as good as you could have hoped for. Three dead diamonds when you've seen as many cards as you have isn't all bad. I'd check and call, and I wouldn't get married to this hand, but you're probably seeing the river.
Definitely bet fifth. Hope the other guy folds, but you have outs if he stays with you. Definitely bet your two pair on sixth. I think checking and calling is best on the river.
