Default Re: stud 8, 2 way hand vs dangerous boards.

Third street, fine. Fourth street, fine. I'm not usually too excited about Eight-draws, but the only other possible four-card low is the bring-in. I don't like him calling.

Betting your made low and open-ender on fifth is OK, I think. The bring-in is starting to look a little scary, and four of your straight outs are gone. I'd probably check and call.

Sixth street is enough to make anyone squirm. I think the raise is OK, because I think you're likely to have the best high hand. Most people would bet Aces-up on fifth street, no? When he three-bets, I think you have to figure he's full and you may be screwed. The bring-in has a scary board, but he's shown no strength throughout the hand. I would call the three-bet on sixth and one more bet on the river.
