Re: 8/B 5-10 Hand
I think first in if you are going to play, completing is almost mandatory with A7 3 and A4 3. Isn't it good to have put the bring-in to a decision, especially with these hands? I almost always want...

Re: 8/B 5-10 Hand
Nice analysis by Andy. I particularly like the "Do you see why". Wonder where he got that, :-). Works for me since I often have to be encouraged to think.
The only exception I take is that I like...

Re: stud/8 strategy: ring v tourney
The high variance in stud 8 causes tournaments to be something of a crapshot. Even with near perfect play you will frequently not cash.
Some differences: You can play your medium quality low...

Re: WSOP Free prize Stud Hilo
As Aicirt has pointed out the structure in the $1000 event will be bad. I played the $1500 event last year and it was tough too. I'll be playing in this event this year as well as the $2000. So...

Re: Best Sites for 8/B Multi Tourneys
The only site I have played a Stud 8 multi-table tourney is on Pokerstars. They have $1/$0 MTT up to $100/$9 I believe. $20/$2 are almost daily. In August they have the WCOOP which has a Stud 8...

Re: WSOP stud 8
My mistake, you're correct, one hour levels. I guess I was thinking about about breaks - maybe they stuck in my mind more, :-).

Re: WSOP stud 8
I played in the WSOP 2004 $1500 stud 8 event. I also played in two stud 8 satellites last year but they were for $2000 in event entry chips.
These satellites were 4 chip events meaning that the...

Re: Goofy $10/20 stud/8 hand
Strong work on 6th.
Why didn't you reraise 7th. He can't have you beat both ways. Many players raise with any low here (and of course every time with a 7 low or better) against your board...

Re: How to play this 6-5 low
I would frequently but not always raise 3rd but that isn't likely to have affected the outcome of this hand. I think you played the river fine, especially considering the initial call by Seat 2 and...

Re: Hi-Lo, Ante Structure and Super System

Re: Stud 8b noob - AK8s
With 5 limpers in it doesn't sound as if you are likely to get raised. The 8 in the door is in my mind the worst card of the three. There are a max of 6 low diamond cards out but what about other...

Re: Three card straight
A reasonable scenario and I think you have to bet. Hopefully/probably you will lose the 2J and maybe even the Ace if a big part of their thinking was low possibilities and they didn't pair. It...

Re: Concept 17: An Advanced Play
Interesting analysis. I think in the games Brunson is talking about the KJ will almost always jam with just one pair if you call and the 74 raises. Also the 74 will definitely raise if you call no...

You may or may not want to call here but did you consider a raise/complete? 876 no-suitedness is a borderline hand but one that actually plays reasonable well short-handed or heads-up. Other than...

Disregarding antes/blinds if your EV on a given hand is zero when you play then it is the same when you fold since then they are all zero (we can easily allow for antes/blinds if you insist). ...

Re: is calling this down justified?
I would call decreasing variance a poker skill just like it is an investing skill. Especially in the day of multi-tabling. It is always better to risk less for the same return.
I don't disagree...
