Total pot (23.8 BB).

Any comments appreciated.

Re: 7 Stud/8 - Family pot
 

The only questionable play is the call on fourth street. I'd probably make it too, though. The pot is huge at that point, you have a three-flush and a three-straight, only one other player has two low cards up, and it only cost you one bet. I assume you'd have folded if seat 4 raised and seat 5 re-raised, yes?

Nice hand.

Definitely. I wouldn’t have called in the first place if the table hadn’t been playing so loose/passive at this point.

Then nice hand.

Re: 7 Stud/8 - Family pot
 

Three-flush, three-straight and three to a low, looking at the other boards, I'd say a call of one bet on fourth is definitely right. But you have to have the discipline to walk away quickly if 5th doesn't hit your hand right and, more importantly, if it hits your hand okay but really hits the other hands well.

Re: 7 Stud/8 - Family pot
 

the math of this game completely mistifies me.

I heartily agree and that’s something I’m struggling with lately.

Me too!

Re: 7 Stud/8 - Family pot
 

the boards were so ugly that i think calling on every street was a good idea. plus, the pot was getting to be pretty big.

Re: 7 Stud/8 - Family pot
 

Third street is fine. I'm not crazy about the fourth-street call. If the game is very loose/passive, it's almost OK, but several of the cards you need are out. The Five is key, and the Eight and two Treys are important. An Ace would be a nice card to catch, and there are a couple of spades out. Also, you're out of position, and while it is unlikely that anyone would raise open Aces in a loose-passive game, stranger things have happened. I've certainly made worse calls, but I think this is a fold.

The fifth-street call is proper. I'm glad that you were able to find the sixth-street raise with the vulnerable but current nut low. Checking and calling on the river was prudent. Hope you won.
