Default Re: (stud8) what hands do you defend against steals with?

Completing any 3 is silly, because part of the goal of stealing is to get the other guy to fold, and to show an automatic profit he needs to fold a lot. You get called a LOT more in stud/8 I think.

Also don't forget you're picking on the same guy every time. He's gonna get wise and play back at you, more likely than not.

At $5/10 it's $5 for $9.5. Not completing most hands in 1 position off the BI is for loose-passive fish games. I mean honestly maybe I'll fold if I have 8-T showing, but not that much else.

The gy being picked on is not going to have an easy time to wise up, because such steal opportunities are fairly uncommon.

But he's getting like 15:3 or 15:4 to call, right? (I don't know the BI for 5/10... $1?)

Typically a hand that flat calls from the BI will fold to a bet if he does not catch a low card on 4th, especially if you have a high card showing.

If he catches high and still calls that's pretty scary.
