Re: Stud/8 Tourney hand
i don't like the way you played this hand... since you have so few chips relative to the betting limits, i would make the decision to commit to this hand, or give up the bring in... you played it in a very wishy-washy manner... if you bet on 4th st representing a 4-card low (which will almost never work in this situation, because why didn't you bring it in for the full bet if you had a decent 3-card low?), then you have to bet on 5th to try to get the pot heads up against the pair of 6s, who you must assume you can beat quite easily if you can pair up one of your big cards (why would he check on 5th? no one slowplays anything at this point in a tournament)... also on the river you simply HAVE to call... you will either have 2000 or 5000 chips, so it is unlikely you will be going too much further in the tournament anyway, and you have everyone's boards beat, so call that last bet... you are getting 11 to 3 on the high end of the pot
