Default Re: Heads up stud8 hand (2/4)

Judging from the ante/bring-in structure, this is on Full Tilt. Am I right?

I've noticed a style of shorthanded stud/8 play on FT that I'm quite sure isn't correct, in which the villain plays good high hands weakly, passively check-calling until the later streets. Maybe the villain has (QJ)J3Q here, or maybe she started out with (AA)J and wanted to let you catch up a bit before putting the hammer down.

I've played a bit on the Full Tilt heads-up tables and run into this sort of thing. The villains get surprisingly petulant when I play to exploit this passivity: I've been told more than once after scooping a big hand, "Do that again, and I'll never play you again!"
