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

On fourth, if you brick heads up, you're so far behind you have to fold.

If you brick multiway, you're behind and fold just as before. If you hit well and the donk hits well, you just landed youself in a very +EV situation.

Agreed, but let's see what happens when you hit well and donk hits better:

Still pretty good, but let's see about if donk #1 catches good as well(and thus will be pumping away):

http://twodimes.net/h/?z=1130754 If donk #1 gets a K or J, its about .285, .43, .285. And note I've given donk #2 about the worst hand he could conceivably call one raise but not two.

Bottom line, I'm not convinced that the extra you make is more than the extra you lose along with the increased difficulty(misreads, etc), which is why I absolutely hate when "+/-EV" gets posted w/o stats backing it up.
