Stud8 - Day 5, Hand 7

[Aaron W.]

I've gotten myself away from limping 8-lows in early position. But the idea of being aggressive and raising them seems like lots of fun, especially since the ace is showing. I kept betting because he kept bricking. Anything wrong with it?

Looks good to me

Good play. A raise is good here because
1) you're shorthanded
2) have no limpers in front of you
3) there are a lot of crappy door cards behind you

The bet on 4th is mandatory
So is 5th. If started with three to a low, he should have dumped it on 4th.

Perfect.
