Stud8 - Day 3, Hand 5

[Aaron W.]

Perfectly standard raise on third, right? And I'd still raise it if the cards behind me were low?

7 Card Stud High-Low ($0.25/$0.50), Ante $0.05, Bring-In $0.10 (converter)

Wouldn't a flat call be apropriate to get more people in? People won't put you on AA cause three Aces is already out. I mean deception isn't workin here when you obviously are on a low, better to keep it unexpensive and hope for low cards and many callers. Or are you hopin to play a big pot? What will you do on 4th if a banana shows its ugly face, pretend you're still playin high?

I raise this every time

this hand is a little more marginal than you'd think since you are gapped and rainbow suited and 2 other aces are out.

however everybody else has crappy upcards so when you are in the lead for the low. however if a lot of other babies are out i would jsut call with this hand.
