I still suck hand stud8. Hand #2
Given my live ace kicker I thought I had enough to call half a bet on 3rd. Perhaps I'm overly optimistic, but thats why I posted this.
HORSE - 7 Card Stud High-Low ($2/$4), Ante $0.25, Bring-In $1 (converter) 3rd Street - (0.88 SB) Seat 2: xx xx 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___folds Seat 3: xx xx 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___folds Hero: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___brings-in___calls Seat 5: xx xx 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___folds Seat 6: xx xx J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___calls___calls Seat 7: xx xx 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___raises Seat 8: xx xx 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___calls 4th Street - (4.88 SB) Hero: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___calls Seat 6: xx xx J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___checks___calls Seat 7: xx xx 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___bets Seat 8: xx xx 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___calls 5th Street - (4.44 BB) Hero: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___bets Seat 6: xx xx J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___checks___calls Seat 7: xx xx 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___checks___calls Seat 8: xx xx 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___checks___folds 6th Street - (7.44 BB) Hero: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___bets Seat 6: xx xx J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___checks___calls Seat 7: xx xx 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___checks___calls River - (10.44 BB) Hero: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___bets Seat 6: xx xx J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] xx___checks___calls Seat 7: xx xx 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] xx___checks___folds Total pot: (12.44 BB) |

Re: I still suck hand stud8. Hand #2
I think calling 3rd is fine; folding might be a little too weak/tight. Only problem is that it might lead to sticky spots if both you and Villains (esp Seat 7) catch good, which is what happened here.
I'd play it all the same way. Betting 5th and 6th are automatic, having caught great cards and trying to get everyone else to fold. I'm surprised they both called on 6th. I like the value bet on the river as well. You're not getting raised here (unless he has a straight or better) and he's going to pay you off with a lot of hands, seeing how he's made it this far. Most likely he's got Jacks up. |

Re: I still suck hand stud8. Hand #2
With a Deuce gone, third's a fold. Fourth is probably a fold as well. I think you did fine in betting the rest of the way, though.

Fold third every time. [/ QUOTE ] you are getting about 8:1 on your money - you can't be that significant of an underdog especially with the two lowest cards in the deck. however these are marginal trap hands and you got trapped. They should be played cautiously even if the ducks were live- I'd throw it away vs aggressive, jamming type of opponents, but seeing 4th street can't be a bad thing against normal opponents with these odds. |

You're probably going to have to call at least one bet on fourth, so that 8:1 is a bit of a mirage.

I think the BI is where good players lose more than they should. I toss razz hands heads up vs agressive aces, but with small pairs with small kickers, I'm much more tempted to play vs late position paint, because my hand is more concealed than his, he might not have a pair, and even if he does, we are heads up giving me a better chance. Do you not take into account the discount on 3rd when deciding to play from the bi? |

Re: I still suck hand stud8. Hand #2
Yeah I usually fold this on third especially with a 2 dead and in a multiway pot where it is harder to bully 2+ ppl around
