4-low, 4-flush, big Stud/8 pot in HORSE

[MarkGritter]

How'd I do?

Does anybody slow down on 5th? (Or raise 6th?) Put in the 3rd bet on the river?

I've only played with seat 8 before, and my notes indicate he is less than solid but very aggressive.

[HOWMANY]

You played it perfect, just get the 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the river next time.

[Off Duty]

Jesus that's a big pot.

Yeah, catch better would you?

[dsaxton]

No, I wouldn't slow down on 5th. Your hand is still a monster, and warrants as many bets as you can get into the pot.

I think you played this well on all streets.

[Andy B]

You played it great, although I'd cap the river.

Congrats on your Yamaha finish in the Fall Classic.

[getfunky]

i think leading out and raising and then just calling 5th made you extra money in this case because the aggro 8-7 low felt more comfortable to push the whole way. So on the river when he's still pushing and the others are calling you should cap for value, since it's pretty likely your hand is good.
