Re: Going high in loose, passive stud8 games
I agree with you. I think what Bremen was meaning in the other thread was that its usually a bad idea to try and play something like Qs or Ks and sometimes even As with a high kicker (though not very often) against a 3-4+ players all showing low cards. It is very rarely that you will scoop a pot like that and you will get outdrawn for high a lot more than you would think. Since it is very hard to play these hands correctly, most people just say don't play them. I think something like rolled up hands are obviously playable and also a high three straight flush is a good hand to have in a multiway pot even with a lot of lows out. You have a lot of equity if you hit one of your cards on fourth.
