Re: My Stud Mistakes
MRBAA,
I wanted to add West's 2-point rule but figured I 'd written enough. I always enjoy your posts but this one got me thinking about a question I've had.
A couple of times I've seen you mention playing small pairs. I play them pretty tight per the structure of the games I currently favor and per West/Othmer: preferably concealed; high kickers (plural - but 7CSFAP seems to indicate one overcard is enough); and not against raised bets.

For small pairs, understand that the only real value is making trips on fourth or hitting an ace or king kicker.

So now I have the following questions to you and the others(and please add answers to questions I didn't ask):
1) do you play small pairs against a completed bet?
2) do you only need one high kicker by 4th street to play on, i.e suppose 5th brings a low, unpaired card?
3) do you play against a raise on 4th if you get your high kicker?
