Default Re: Stud 8: 3 low with 3 to straight or flush on 5th or a pair

You're not calling raises when you catch bananas on fourth, are you?

Of course not, didn't you read that section in my e-book? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]) I'm even very cautious about calling one bet when the brick comes on fourth; I want a three-straight or three-flush to go with it, or to be up against a week low draw (87, 86, etc.).

I appreciate the advice on the hands on fifth street especially; these don't come up in SS2 or Zee's book, and a situation where I'd call with a three low with runner-runner for a straight, flush, or a small pair are quite rare, as the risk isn't worth the reward. For some reason part of me thought I was being too tight.
