Re: AC - High-Low Stud Games
It sounds like you shouldn't even bother with Stud at a B&M for a while. Your posts paint you as being scared of sitting down. Seriously, if you can't handle the pressures of a 1-5 stud game, you...

There were too many posts to read, so don't be offended if I repeat something said a hundred times already.

Re: 7/8b hand 1
As aggressive as you are, I'm surprised that you advocate check-calling. I'd bet this situation on the off chance that our villian is going high.
I think everyone can agree that a vast majority...

Re: stud high: hidden kings
I like every street through 6th. And in the heat of battle, I'd probably make the crying call on 7th as well. Having a bit of time to look at it, it seems like an easy fold against Aces up or a...

Re: Stud-High Flush Draw Question
If, and it's a big if, you know that exactly one of your opponents is drawing to a full house in a 4-way pot, you can keep drawing. For one, you'll know either through his actions or if he pairs...

Re: stud high
Raise 3rd. You don't have to have aces to come back over the top. Pair that with the inability for many players to release Jacks, and you'll get called all the way down.
I don't like the check...

Re: Props and check-raising
Was there ever a question that a prop wouldn't/shouldn't be allowed to checkraise? That doesn't seem to be the case, just that a grumpy old fart didn't like that it happened. Also consider that you...

Re: Bubble JJ hand
A lot of people have a fear of finishing 4th. That's why (a) chip leaders will raise with less than premium hands and (b) coming over the top is a good move.

Re: Bubble JJ hand
I like pushing PF on this because:
- It's 4-handed, so his opening standards are probably quite low compared to at a full table.
- It's 4-handed, so the blinds are coming fast (in a turbo tourney...

Re: Not getting enough value
For hand 1, that turn bet is too large. With nearly a pot-sized bet, what would your opponent call with that would be a mistake for him? I think a smaller bet (say 1/2 the pot) would probably get...
