Default Re: Bremen\'s continuing adventures playing stud8

Completing on third is the worst possible option. If you limp third then the pot is plenty small to fold 4th and get out of the way. Folding is certainly the easiest way to play it, but I'd limp probably. After that it's fine. The nice thing that has developed is that it appears seat 4 is going to have a hard time scooping you unless he already holds the last 5.

I really want to say value bet the river, but your hand is so completely face up and it's actually pretty difficult for him to have a decision other than fold or raise in this specific situation. If you had rivered two pair I'd bet, even a maniac value bettor like me can't find a bet here.

Just saw the ante is .25 and BI is 1. That swings me more toward a fold, I don't think that limping is particularly bad if you play well later.
