never slowplay trips in stud8. Fortunately here there's no one drawing to a low so it'll play a lot like stud8.

I think he got a little confused.

Bartholow · #5 06-19-2005, 08:05 PM

Now that's funny. Can't believe those other guys missed the joke.

Why'd you have to post something interesting exactly one minute after my 2 boring hands?

Seriously though, I think you played fine. I might have raised 4th if I didn't think it would kill the action. Versus a lot of guys waiting is fine though, because they won't raise you later with 2 pair.

BeerMoney · #8 06-19-2005, 09:55 PM

Roland, I really think you should have raised 4th.

beta1607 · #9 06-19-2005, 10:30 PM

At first this hand seemed like it played itself but the more I think about it the more interesting it is.

I like a check-raise on 4th to charge everyone two bets while you still have the most equity in the pot and most streets to fill up on. I think that seat 8 caught scary enough on 5th that it is close between calling and raising but in this case I like calling to try for overcalls and not open myself up to a 3-bet.

Whenever you get frustrated about losing a rolled up hand, just think about that time I payed you off with your rolled tens which you pretty much played to perfection.

Yes, I think what the raise on 5th accomplished was getting his opponents to correctly fold. This is a situation where if hero's behind, he wants the other's in cause he's drawing to a monster.
