.25/.50 Stud8 line check
Couple of points. Would you have raised 3rd street or just limp? Also I think 5th street is standard to try and knock out the other low who bricked.

Re: .25/.50 Stud8 line check
I assume the 2s brought it in, and you completed. I like the raise on 3rd. I'm sorry to see the 2s gone, but you've got a good hand.
I'm not sure that I would fold the river. The pair of 5s might be good for half the pot if Seat 7 made a low. He bet 4th street as though he had a high hand, but he backed off on 5th. |

The other guy check-raised fourth and bet every street after that. He slowed down on fifth when hero check-raised with his paired door card, but other than that, he kept his foot to the gas. There is no way that 55 is good here.
I think hero played this one pretty well. |

The thing is I don't think your too far off. At this level it's people you just described, stud high players who think a pair of jacks are a great starting hand, or people who think chasing for half the pot is +EV. I am sure this describes most low limit Stud8 monkeys though. I will find out eventually I guess. |

Re: .25/.50 Stud8 line check
Villain's hand just screams 222. The reason he backed off on 5th was he plays penny stakes and is so scared of his own shadow that he thinks hero might actually have 555. You lose at least 95% of the time here.
I think I just checkcall 5th because I'm almost certain I have the worst of it and seat 3 with his board is basically dead money and I don't mind him staying in the hand. Otherwise I play it the same. |
