Default Re: Dead Pair of Aces

It would be nicer if your aces weren't dead, but you usually don't have to catch trips or better to win, especially when you have aces. You would play this hand the same way whether your aces were live or not. The same dhould go with the Kings and likely queens. Stud is a game of live cards, but if you already have something the urgancy of needing live cards is not as great. Now, if he pairs his door card, then you might have some trouble. But also remember taht with 2 aces gone people are less likley to put you on a pair of aces and thus they may overbet their hand against you thinking you dont have the aces. So, even with this particular hand, if he pairs his door card, it is not totally apparent that you would fold.

But as I said, the hand is played fine.
