Default This looks about right 10/20 Stud 8

Unknown villain but everyone in these games is terrible because I actually used to win money in them and I'm pretty sure I don't know how to play any form of poker well.

7 Card Stud High-Low ($10/$20), Ante $1, Bring-In $3 (converter)

3rd Street - (0.70 SB)

im calling down here man, he can have AA or KK in the hole

EDIT: As far as the hand goes I'm betting fifth street, even if he does have trips your board will most likely prevent him from CRing you as you may have a straight

He had TJQ and I won but I didn't know he was beyond retarded before the hand. I checked fifth though.

He has to call because obviously you just have like a pair of fours or something. Your check on 5th probably even convinced him of that [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I've seen people play their hand dark and call down the whole way in multiway pots when both players obviously had big hands in a live 75/150 game. People seem to find ways to play terrible no matter how much money is at stake.

The odds that your opponent has the case Q under are so small here that you can keep firing.

Rusty, in a stud thread Andy B said this:

The next thing you need to read is the bit in SS2 where Todd points out that if two players have an Ace showing on third, it is actually more likely that a pair of Aces is out than if only one player were showing an Ace. Multiply that by two and add the bring-in.

[/ QUOTE ]

To me this seems contradictory because of card removal.

Those people usually beat me. I played a huge hand a few weeks ago against a guy who was playing every hand in the dark, bet/raise/raise the whole way. I have AKs (holdem), we cap it preflop, I flop two pair, cap, cap 4th, 5th makes 4 suited cards. I check-call - he made the flush (the river is the first time he looked)

Most players don't check 3 queens in this spot when it's HU. You don't have to have a low yet (this is the hand/draw that he probably figures you to have) and checking here would be really weak on his part. I would bet your hand for value. See what he does. If he just calls and you catch another baby on 6th, you can bet again with your 2-way draw. The good thing is, if you bet 5th, at least you'll be in position on 6th street.
