Default Re: Sick stud8 hand from WSOP HORSE

I'm not folding fifth either. I think Chip was so short at the time that it was going to be all or nothing if he caught well on sixth. On 6th Chip had 14 outs minus the ones that were folded previously that we didn't see. His odds pretty much sucked since he was going for low only, but being short made it time for a desperation move.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how he can NOT fold 7th.

How can Eli have anything but a flush or roll-ups on 5th?

Elezra obviously doesn't have a low, and he can't be trying to steal the pot 3-way, so based on 5th and 6th, he almost has to have atleast trips, maybe a flush.

Would it have been better for Elezra to reraise 3rd? I don't think it is obvious he is rolled up. He might do that with a 3-card low straight flush or something. If Wattel has split aces, he doesn't mind isolating versus those.

I think Eli should definitely reraise 3rd since he he could easily have low clubs or A23 or something (not that he should give that much action with A23 imo, but he's the type of guy who would anyway.)

The problem with slowplaying roll-ups in stud 8 is that if your board doesn't cooperate you never get the chance to represent anything but a concealed high hand. (Well that and you let low hands in obv.)

If you jam 3rd it's actually much more deceptive than playing 3rd passively and raising 4th/5th with a crappy board.
