Default 30/60 High, calling with str8 to get overcalls

Here is an interesting hand I played against 2 good players where I thought I'd make more money by keeping in the 3rd player (felt like I was playing hi/low with this play). Maybe I should have raised somewhere along the line to protect against getting drawn out by a full house or maybe the guy with the open Js would have called a double raise on either 5th or 6th and I cost myself $120 by not raising?

7 Card Stud High ($30/$60), Ante $5, Bring-In $10 (converter)

I think I would reraise sixth, if they both have trips or two pair, I'd imagine your equity goes up quite a bit by getting one to fold. If he calls anyway, thats good as well.

Me too. I like your range of starting hands. I wish I was good enough on later streets to make these playable!

Do you mean reraise 5th or raise 6th? I think that my equity might actually go down if they both have 2 pair and my raise gets one of them to fold, especially given that their pair cards are dead...I'll check it out on twodimes.net to see.

No, I like the call on fifth, but there could definitely be a case made for raising. I like a raise on sixth for my stated reasons. I'm interested in the sims if you think your equity would go down by knocking out someone on sixth.

Your equity in the pot will go up because there will be fewer opponents (hense you'll win more). But your EV might go down a bit if the gain you get from increased equity doesn't make up the lose of a BB (or 2).

Overall it will probably be a wash or close to it. I say you risk losing .1 BB in EV (at most) to decrease your varience.

I did a bunch of twodimes sims, and as usually they were VERY enlightening; I suggest that everyone spend less time playing and more time on twodimes (especially in multiway pots). I am now pretty sure of what the optimal line is (in white for those who actually want to do the sims themselves first): <font color="white"> Call 5th, raise 6th &amp; fold to a 3 bet, bet 7th if checked to or crying call a single bet (or check raise) but fold to a double bet cold. </font>. The 5th and 6th st. plays are dependant on assigning high probabilities to specific hands for each opponent, but I think this is fairly easy to do with this hand. I'm going to bed now, but I'll explain what my reads and reasoning for this line of play after I hear some what some of your reads are.

I definitely reraise 5th. Punish two pair and trips and make them pay dearly to draw out. Game Friday?
