1. I think you played the hand perfectly. No reason to slow down as I think you often wont get the action out of someone who wants to reraise with any 3 babies later in the hand. Get as much in here as you can, in this situation I think you only get multiple bets on later streets from a made low.

2. NLHE tourneys can be a good diversion to the occasional frustrations of grinding stud-8 games. When my nights are going baby baby baby brick brick brick a short no-limit game can be a good change and an aggression outlet.

3. Since there is already some shameless bragging in the thread, I won the Stars $10 Stud-8 tournament Sunday night [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Finally after 4 stud-8 final table trips I took one down.
