Re: Stud/8 - Do you play it differently?
I'd dont see a bet on 6th as trying to get the other guy to fold, although that is a nice bonus. I think Hero is betting 6th basically for the same reason one might raise to buy a free card. If we hit well on 7th, we can bet again. If we miss, we're almost certainly getting a cheap showdown. Against open 4568, I can't see bare Queens or even queens up value betting the river often if at all.
