Re: 1/2 Stud 8/b: Playing a Hi hand
Raising on 3rd would have been bad, limping is OK IMO though...its close between folding but limping is ok if you play well on the ensueing streets.
4th is good. Depending on the action I probably would have called one bet there are no one caught a true gem. They caught good though... 5th. nice 6th. holla 7th. yup

Re: 1/2 Stud 8/b: Playing a Hi hand
I figured calling 3rd wasn't bad because this was a pretty passive game with raises on 3rd maybe 10 - 15% of the time, the low cards showing aren't all that great. I figured if somebody caught an ace and started to show some strength in a small pot, I could get out.

Re: 1/2 Stud 8/b: Playing a Hi hand
There's also a Six and a Five in. You're taking high pair up against three low cards. I wouldn't want to put any more money in than I had to. And with an Ace kicker in particular, I'm not folding it. I think that third is a clear limp.

Re: 1/2 Stud 8/b: Playing a Hi hand
yes, the reason to raise is generally to limit the field, and that seems unlikely here. limping in from late position is a nice way to play big pairs for a several reasons:
1 you can get away from door pairs, live aces, and suited connectors without a second thought 2 you disguise your hand, especially when you pair your door 3 you mix up your play so that when you limp with a flush draw with 2 babes, you'll get more respect. 4 when you do fold 4th it will look like you played a speculative hand cheaply and failed to improve it on 4th .. this helps to prevent a tight image of laying down big pairs the disadvantage is mostly related to disguising your hand, in that it will be more difficult to limit the field vs loose players who find reasons to call .. also, taking charge of the hand can help you get information based on the players reaction to the strength you showed from the getgo.
