Boring Stud 8 live hand.
This is from a hand I played in a live $10/$20 mixed game (Omaha 8 or Better and Stud 8 or Better) at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City last weekend.
I don't remember the upcards, but someone brought it in with something, a fairly passive / mean lady raised with an A up, folds to me, I call with (2 5) A, everyone else folds. Mean lady catches a 3, I pair my 2, she bets, I fold. Standard or not? |

Re: Boring Stud 8 live hand.
I think you have to take one off and evaluate on fifth street. While you're almost always behind, it's rarely by that much. She's a small favorite with split Aces with a banana or a four-card low. You're only in trouble if she started with Aces with a baby or has trips.
Another factor to consider is that it is extremely satisfying to put mean ladies on tilt when you crack their Aces. I recommend that you catch another Deuce. |

Given how she seemed to think about the game (she was indignant with one player for betting a low draw on 4th street), I think her most likely hand is split aces. Does that change things?

[/ QUOTE ] Really? Split Aces? I think her range is bit wider than that... Pairing your duece is almost useless but I think I would peel here for one small bet and see how things do on 5th. Its kinda close though...twodimes!!!! |

Re: Boring Stud 8 live hand.
Borderline - can't really fault dumping it, but taking a card off is also a reasonable play on that small bet street. I'll often take one off there, depending on how live my hand is.
That looks like a nice mixed game. How was the play overall? Was passivity and a lot of calling the trend? |
