Stud8 - Day 2, Hand 13
 

Did I say there were 12 hands out of 60 where I had questions? That was wrong, there were more. I'm such a lost newbie at this game.

Look at me jam third. Is this good?

I feel like I should have bet 5th because they both bricked, but I have a weak hand and not that great of a low draw.

Meh, I usually limp third. Raising can't be horribly wrong just due to the nature of the game. Rest of the hand plays itself.

Re: Stud8 - Day 2, Hand 13
 

You can limp on third, although a good case can be made for folding, but I don't like raising at all. Presumably the Q has queens (who knows at this level though) anyway, if he has queens you def don't want to play heads up against him. Rest looks fine to me.

I doubt he has queens. Not necessarily a 3-flush or 3-straight even. Probably it's been too long since you played these stakes man.

Re: Stud8 - Day 2, Hand 13
 

A razz hand, even a smooth, one isn't worth a raise IMO.

The hope was to get heads up with the queen. Is that a bad idea?

Re: Stud8 - Day 2, Hand 13
 

do you think he should have bet 5th? he has a good low draw w/ 2 cards to come?

Re: Stud8 - Day 2, Hand 13
 

I don't like to bet a 3 card 7 low unless it contains an A or a straight draw to give me a chance to develop some kind of high hand. In other words, anytime you have a 2, no A, the hand is weakened. I like betting the low draw on 5th beause you may pick up the pot right there.
