Default Re: Stud/8 - Do you play it differently?

I don't mind the raise on third, but I probably just call to entice more people into playing. Fourth: I don't mind the raise if you think you can get villian to fold on fifth if you catch another low card. If you don't think he will, or aren't quite sure than I would just call. Even though you "improved" you didn't really improve in the right way. Fifth is interesting. You've made two small pair, have a three straight and a three low. Unless this villian is a complete idiot he has to have something to keep betting into you when you have such a scary board. I think I would lean towards just calling fifth. The bet on sixth is standard. The river I cry and call. I don't see how you can win this, but the pot is so big, not to mention my curiosity would get the best of me and I would want to see what he had that he played that way. These hands suck, but sometimes they just don't work out the way you envisioned them.
