Re: Settle an argument (Stud8 3rd street decisions)
i would generally say no as you are against all 8b cards up, there is an ace up and you first to act. if the game is playing very tight i might play but generally i would fold as you hand will pretty obvious and it would be easy for the lows to outplay you.

I think it's largely personal preference and dependent on the table texture. Either raise or fold, but I almost always fold, particularly with the Ace still to act.

I don't fold because there's an ace out, but I do if the ace raises. Then again it is 1-2 and split aces may just call a raise. I think it's a mistake to fold just because there is an ace yet to act. Since there are so many low cards out, wouldn't that diminish villains's odds of drawing a low?

And having an obvious high hand against multiple low draws stinks.

Fold, not close. Microscopic ante, everything behind you is scary. [/ QUOTE ] How would you adjust to a big ante? All the big ante games I played in so far (a handful) were too loose so I couldn't adjust in this type of hand. If you were playing at a table full of guys who knew how to play correctly and the A was not reckless then raise/fold might be the correct play.
