Stud8: More idiocy on 3rd
10/20 on Pary. I bring it in with Ac 2s 3s. Two fours and two spades are dead. Folded to an ace, who completes, a six raises, folded to me, I fold.

just right?
[/ QUOTE ]
I think so.
His play on sixth is super confusing, though. Perhaps he's made two pair and put you on air since you were the bring-in.

Re: River disaster
I was seat 2 here and folded (56), no hearts. I called rather than raised on 3rd in the hope that Jon would come along.
My thinking was that given the action on 3rd, trips were possible and with...

Re: 2+2 Tourney
After Christmas is good. I'd play a Stud8 tourney at any of these limits, but probably not a stud high.

Re: Aces up on a scary board (Stud 8/b)
Ugh, this whole hand gives me shivers, but I don't know where you can escape.
I bet fourth hoping Seat 1 will raise get it HU.
I check sixth, and maybe fifth.

Re: I couldn\'t believe what he showed down.
I stick to 8/b, but his call seems sensible. 4 players in, totally live 7s and Js (as far as he can see). He has great implied odds in this and little chance of being raised.
In a multiway pot...

Re: 8b starting hand question
Oh yeah, good point. This is a good hand to steal antes with. (If you're reading this and playing below 3/6, ignore this post.)

Re: 7/8b hand 2
Fold third. You have a terrible low draw and your aces may be dead.
Bet fourth, hoping to knock out Seat 3.
Rest seems ok, but less belivable because you didn't bet fourth. In general, bluffs...

Re: Stud 8 - Day 2, Hand 2
Your call on fifth may be a too thin: two 4s and a 9 are dead, and the pot is small. Run some calculations on twodimes.net to figure out if calling is right.
Otherwise, just fine.

Re: Stud8 - Day 2, Hand 4
Jamming 3rd is fine, calling is fine (in games this low, I suspect a raise is better).
Fold fifth. I don't think it's close. You started great, but you're now getting 4-1 and even if you make...
