3/6 stud 8 wired aces 4th st c/r

What's good about the checkraise: a pair of aces is a money favorite over a low draw with weak scoop potential. Checkraise gets money into the pot when you have the equity.

What's bad about the checkraise: it gives the game away, announcing that you have a high hand. In fact your low potential is very limited, and your scoop potential comes largely from the situations where your opponent draws for and misses her low.

Especially with the seven apparently contributing only to your opponent's low potential without threatening a scoop, I like the check-raise some of the time. Maybe make the play one time in three as the circumstance arises. (I just pulled the ratio out of my butt; someone like Andrew Prock could probably calculate the optimum.)
