Default Re: stud high, pretty sure I made a couple mistakes

First off, you are not guaranteed to be paid off if you hit trips since you will have open sixes. Loose game or not, you have to understand that typically slows the action (whether or not it actually does on a hand in question). Also, bad players get hands too and to raise into overcards he typically will have some kinda hand, most notably jacks. But ok, maybe he has a pocket pair, in which case, your sixes are beat. Ok, maybe he is light...maybe he has something like KQJ; oh wait, that has a great chance of drawing out on your tiny pair.

Oh wait, you also have to contend with two other players sporting overcards who also either are likely beating you or easily could outdraw you. And oh yea, even if you catch the 9, you still will lose often vs a few opponents, one of whom prob started with a bigger pair than you. Also, one overcard did limp, but the other remains to act behind you -another negative.

It is my most humble opinion that this hand is a clear 3rd street fold.

Jeff
