I winced as soon as I clicked bet on 6th. My feeling at the time was that seat 2 would probably not stop firing with aces up or better, and had probably been going low. Then I thought about how scary my board looked and immediately felt stupid for not taking the free card. |

Re: Stud/8 donkament spewage
I'd probably play it safe and let it go on 4th Street, esp if Seat 2 has been playing tight. He's either got a much better 4-card low draw or Aces and still a better low draw. He also caught your 7 which hurts you even more.
5th is probably a fold as well. On 6th, be grateful you can get a free card and take it. You're still drawing to make a hand you can show down and there's no chance Seat 2 is folding to your bet here. |

Re: Stud/8 donkament spewage
Third is a questionable call but 4th is a certain fold when he caught one of your 7's.

Re: Stud/8 donkament spewage
i have a rule for playing paired hands all the way up to kings - if an ace is yet to act muck immediately - unless that ace is passive so you can limp/fold .. otherwise you get yourself in a guessing game - this may seem tight but the ace is so powerful in this game both as a two way card and as a door card that gives away nothing and allows the player to outplay you with so many different hole cards.

Re: Stud/8 donkament spewage
If you're going to play this hand, I think you should raise coming in. Folding was probably better. Having limped, calling the completion was OK, but folding wouldn't be horrible.
Fourth is probably a fold. Fifth is a fold. Take the freebie on sixth. You played the river very well. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: Stud/8 donkament spewage
Thanks for the responses. Small pair small kicker is kind of a problem hand for me espeically when I catch low on 4th and others appear to catch good. A few questions:
1: Is 3rd only questionable because of the ace still to act? 2: What kind of action do I actually want with this hand? Am I trying to get heads up against 1 opponent going low and hope he bricks? 3: Is 4th still an obvious fold if seat 2 catches a 5 instead of a 7? |

Am I trying to get heads up against 1 opponent going low and hope he bricks? [/ QUOTE ] That would be fine. I would prefer to buy the antes with a hand like this.
