Default Re: 1-5 Stud hand

Andy's analysis of the river is good.

However, your friend is making a terrible error raising you before 6th with queens up. THis is discussed in stud fap and Super/System. This is an awful play, as:

if you are bluffing, you will fold, where you might have trapped yourself otherwise.

if you make an open pair, he should fold. So why does he want more $ in now?


If he pairs his 4th st. card, you will now fold, where otherwise you would have continued.

He has a much bigger edge with his raise on 6th, and he only gets to make one raise. By waiting this long, he may scare kings up from 3 betting as it looks like a slowplay of a big hand to many players.

Hope this is helpful.
