Some people would check-call two pair on the river bc they are afraid you made aces up (passive players).

Re: Playing aces too weak...or too strong?

I learned a fair amount by working through that. It was interesting to see how 3 excellent starting hands play together. I was concerned that I was playing the 3 to a wheel hands too weakly, and...

Here is greenage's hand along with sims and some comments. Assume you see everyone's cards as they are played, and we have the benefit of the sims listed below.

Re: $2/$4 Stud/8 - Huh?
When I put myself in seat 5's position on 4th, I get the brick and you get the Ace. I would have folded to your 'better low', which got me to thinking. Am I too weak in this situation? Anyhow,...

Thanks for posting that. I would have played it similarly; but would have merely felt better on 5th rather than raising. Anyhow, I figured there must be some trick to it; otherwise, you would not...

Re: Stud/8 SnG hand - middle stages
Personal opinion: When your stack falls below 10BB forget about normal play. If it happens, wait for a good situation and try to exercise whatever folding equity you might have. At this table,...

Re: WCOOP Stud event
I tried this, but didn't like the format at all. It is set up so that you MUST buy the add-on and probably rebuy a couple of times to stay competitive. Or you could just get lucky.
