Default Re: Spread-limit stud/8 bring-ins

I can't think of a book that covers this, and I don't remember any threads, either. I've only ever played fixed-limit, and I almost always bring it in for the minimum. It is deceptive, and I like the limp/re-raise in high-low stud a lot. Probably too much.

One instance where I will bring it in for a full bet is if I have a good hand, such as a three-card low, and most folks are showing bananas. I have a good chance of stealing the antes. I also tend to bring it in for a full bet more often in shorthanded games because my stealing equity is higher.

Ray's book is great, but while it has an extensive discussion of what you should play on third street, it doesn't have much discussion of how you should play it.
