Stud 8, how would you play this?
Other than the loose call on 3rd, anyone play this any differently?

Fold or raise 3rd. Careful raising 3rd if Seat 8 is tricky.
I think you can fold fourth: your scoop chances are quite slim. Maybe take a card off if you think Seat 8 may have a 3-card low. |

Fold third. Yuck. Fourth and fifth are fine. Sixth is interesting. For him to raise, he really ought to have a set, so I'd probably just call. Then again, maybe he's just said "screw it" and wants to get it all-in. Why people do that is beyond me, but you see that kind of thing all the time. Definitely bet the river and call the raise.

Re: Stud 8, how would you play this?
is the main reason for suggesting folding on third that 2 of his key cards (the fives) are dead?
I know it is only an 8 low, but if the fives weren't dead, wouldn't it be worth taking card with no raise in front of you? |

Re: Stud 8, how would you play this?
Reasons for folding, roughly in order:
1) You have three to a stinky Eight. 2) An Ace is yet to act behind you. 3) Two key cards (the Fives) are gone. 4) It's a low-ante game, but I'd probably fold this in a high-ante game as well. Even with Fives live, I wouldn't bother with the Ace yet to act. Get Ray Zee's book. |

Re: Stud 8, how would you play this?
I think we can all agree that 3rd was a pretty loose call that I shouldn't have made. I'm more interested in the later streets. Anyone not going to the felt with the trip 8s on 6th?

especially since it's a 78 low draw. With no limpers ahead of you it's an easier raise, or fold if you don't like the ace.

I don't think there is any way you can fold fourth. On sixth I think I usually just call as well.
