Stud8 - Kinda-steal with kinda-ok hand in kinda-ok spot

[Hamlet]

That does help your chances. I never bother with hands like this though, although I currently only play 1-2 and 2-4. I find so many hands where I have a big edge that I don't see any reason to mess with something this close.

Maybe 5-10 requires some of this. I would be leery of entering a pot with a hand this bad though.

Actually, I had a note on seat 4 that said he had limped and folded on 3rd when I raised an ace in steal position earlier. I should have mentioned this I guess
