Default Re: Stud hi call down with two pair

These hands are a leak of mine as well. I have a hard time mucking a live garbage hand like this, but when you don't you face this issue quite a bit.

Once you've played the hand, I probably play it the same way, and the vast majority of the time you will be shown a better hand at the end.

You could fold 5th, too. I always convince myself that they're raising two small pair. They rarely are, though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

About the only other thing to try is to check-raise 4th, to try and thin the field a little, but that isn't going to work all that much either.

Folding third is the right answer. Sadly, I usually play it the same as you (as long as my hand is completely live).

I'm pretty good at sucking out on the river though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
