Total pot: (17.50 BB)

Seat 3 is very loose, seeing 5th in the high 70 to 80%, and will bet out as soon as he hits a pair tens or higher or makes two pair, regardless of who bet what when.

If I give him credit for his likely queens, then i'm drawing very slim. Do I lay it down here?

[djr]

queens is the only thing he could have, IMO. The other two opponents look like they're sticking around to the river and one or both could already have a low. It's a good time to lay it down.

WHen you hit the 6 on 6th. I think you're right to see the river. You have 3 fours for a scooper and 4 aces to a great low (and possilbe scoop if villian doesn't have two pair).

7th, crying call /images/graemlins/frown.gif hope you took your half

[mscags]

I think since it is a pretty large pot and that it appears as if the rest of your opponents are going low I would call on fifth. After that I play it the same way.

is completing on 3rd with QQ5 standard? QQ5 seems like pretty crappy to me...maybe I just don't understand this game.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is really one of the aspects of stud that I like more and more. Your actions are dictated by the context of the hand, so there is no real 'standard'. QQ5 can get you in real trouble, but here it is (or looks to be) quite strong.

[TheShootah]

It looks like the best high hand, so I think a raise is in order here. If he thins the field to two or three, he has some great scooping chances. Also, he may get a worse high hand to stick around since he has a 5 in the door. Whether he actually wants that or not... /images/graemlins/grin.gif
