10.20 Stud 8 Live

[templar999]

$1 ante, $3 BI. 9 handed.

No info on the first caller. Second caller is a little loose and somewhat stubborn with one way hands, but reads well. One spade, a couple of wheel cards, and paint are out. My aces and diamonds are completely live.

As played I guess I would call and see what we get. You've got one of his Tens and Sixes each, making is less likely he's got a set. I think there's a good chance he's got a 4-flush with a low draw.

You'll probably have to go out on 6th if you catch a total brick but making Aces up or make a good 4-card low will allow you to continue. A lot will depend if 834 catches good as well and how aggressive he decides to get.

templar,

Are you Asian? If so I think we played together at the borg on Monday.

You're saying you've got Aces and T6 is saying he doesn't care. He's either got a set or brain damage, maybe both. You're gunning for half the pot here--maybe the low half if you go runner-runner. I don't think folding can be far wrong. Whatever you do, take note of what this guy shows down and adjust accordingly. If he shows KK or something, hopefully you'll have his money soon enough.

Tough one without a read. If you take the play at face value it appears that the T is rolled - or, a bit less likely he's got AA-T. However, the T could realize the value in getting his pair of tens heads up and be raising for that reason.
Lacking any real reads of strength I'd reraise 4th and bet 5th, to see what the reaction was. If I was raised again on 5th with the same 3 players I'd slow down without catching a low card on 5th.

As it as played, I call the raise on 5th, then I likely fold unless I improve on 6th.
