Re: 7 Card Stud High $5/10 - losing control
How would you play this hand Ray? I see no other way to play it.
Of course seat 2 might well be a favourite on 5th, but he could easily have only a flush draw or an under pair. And how does the other hand look promising? Semi-dead deuces with an ace kicker with one ace gone? Maybe with a gutshot? An under pair? I want all those hands to fold, but they usually won’t fold for one bet on 5th; they just might fold for two bets though.
On 5th, hero could be badly beaten, but seat 2 could be 3-betting for value/ as a semi-bluff with some flush + straight draw combo. I think you have to call.
Granted, 6th should be a check. After seat 1 call two cold on 5th it does look like he’s just made aces up and is scared of a straight.
