Re: Split the Stud Forum?
One of the main reasons I like the forum in its current format is the ability to learn from a lot of experienced players. My first stud post (with an appalling 3rd street play) was castigated by...

Re: Split the Stud Forum?
I just don't think the stud forum is active enough to justify a split. Maybe people should be encouraged to post the limit in the title of the post so people can avoid reading low limit hands if...

Re: $22: All In Call
This is a really easy call, his range is very wide and its a great opportunity to add 80% to your stack.You can't fold AK when you have 8x the BB.

Re: Stud/8 overplayed hand
Thanks, river was a clear mistake after the check raise on 6th. I wondered if 5th was correct given I was raising into a 256 board - if he had one baby in the hole then he would almost certainly...

Re: I have a simple Question????
Donkey is a common name for a poor player at sports (particularly football, or soccer as you'd call it!) here in England. I'm guessing it came from this side of the pond originally, maybe...

Re: flopped straight OOP
I don't like the turn check, he isn't going to believe the 4 helped you if you fire another half at the pot and will probably call with overcards anyway. The risk with checking the turn is that if...

Re: Pissed off (NC)
The only comfort is that these guys are the reason that stud is profitable in the long run. On Saturday night I had 5 low OESD in stud/8 on 4th in the session, and I didn't even end up making a low...

Re: Am I Playing Too Tight?
Read both Harrington on HoldEms, you need to loosen up your hand requirements as the blinds increase relative to your stack.

Re: Possible resteal; what to do?
Very easy fold, whether he had typed something or not. If anything I would suspect the stealing remark means he has a monster but your hand is a stealing hand and you have got to fold. I also...

Re: When do you find a fold here?
Yes, was going to make a crying call on the river, always do with pot that size and am sure its been heavily EV+ by doing it.
I guess my real question is about a fold on 5th given he may have...

On 3rd I'm thinking I can get this heads up against 3 to a low when I'll be a favourite despite a dead queen, is this flawed? Is 4th too aggressive too?

Re: $11 - Push With 88?
With under 6x the BB and potentially some dead money in the pot this is a really easy push. Its a push even without the dead money BTW!

Re: Stars $10+1 45k, AQo (help needed.)
My advice is that when the flop misses you, you can fold. If he is that aggressive you will get money off him when the flop does hit you. Your raise all in on the 2nd hand is horrible, he almost...

Re: Moneymaker playing 30/60 Stud/8 on Stars
Well Money has left now, about $300 up, looks like he does not enjoy playing full tables. 2 full tables of 30/60 going on now, a byproduct of Party getting rid of skins and rakeback?
