Stud8 - Day 2, Hand 10

[Aaron W.]

Yes, they keep coming. Thanks for all the responses I've received so far. Maybe after a few dozen baby steps I'll feel like I've actually learned something.

After all the jamming on 3rd, I didn't know what to do. All I see is a live gutshot to half the pot on 5th. It's a big pot, but I don't know if chasing this can lead to anything good.

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

You people are confused. Hero was never confronted with a double bet on third.

Hero limped, Seat 6 completed and then the 8 reraised. I think a call is very marginal in this situation, although not terrible if you are a good hand reader and your opponents are easily manipulated.

And since you didn't, 4th is absolutely 100% a fold.

Everyone is misreading the action.

I'm in seat 5. I limped, seat 6 limped, and seat 8 completed. It was called around again to me, I called, and seat 6 raised as his second action.

I think you can call this down once you get to 5th street and you're heads up. Just barely though, and maybe my math is off. But you're entitled to ~30% of the pot. If you both put in 3BBs each the final pot is 13BBs, of which your share is 30% of 13BB or ~4BBs, which is slightly more then the 3BBs it costs to call him down.

Calling along on third is fine. If it had been $.40 to you, you should get away from it, especially with all of those straight cards gone, but you got roped in on the installment plan. Fourth is a fold.
