Re: Rate my play.

Complete 3rd because you have a strong hand for a 4 handed game.
Bet 5th. The 6 couldn't help him.

Re: Rate my play.

Unless you knew this guy was passive, but didn't tell us, you have a clear bet on 5th.

Raising 3rd would be ok, but you don't have to loosen up quite as much in stud when it gets shorthanded (as opposed to holdem), so it is fine to just call with this speculative hand.

Important point. In holdem, there’s always the same amount of $$$ in the pot - the blinds - whereas in stud the pot is smaller when it’s shorthanded (fewer people posting antes). So there’s less to fight for.

I disagree. You raise, and you'll either get raised by Queens (you know you're a dog), called by queens (you don't know you're a dog), called by a drawing hand that has at least 1 overcard, or take down a tiny pot. Not ideal with a 3 str8.

Plus, the pot is small. Raise isn't advised on this hand.

JMHO.

(no seriously this guy was fishy)

Re: Rate my play.

Hey, I advocated calling. I was just responding to kschellenger saying to complete. I still think it would be ok, but... take it up with kschellenger, not me [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
