Another 30/60 hi/low hand

[Andy B]

I would bring this one in for $10 and fold if anyone raised. Tens are death in this game. Fold fourth too. I wouldn't have gotten there, but I'd probably just call on fifth. You probably do have the best hand with the Eight being gone and all, but your edge isn't going to be all that great. You're not going to knock anyone out unless the Eights three-bet, in which case you're almost certainly behind. I'd wait, and if it comes down favorably on sixth, you can raise, and your edge will be much greater.

As it happens, it didn't come down very well at all on sixth, and you decided to go bananas anyway. I would call one bet and not like it. Do you go this nuts with Tens-up in high-only?

Check behind on the river. You've got two guys to beat for half the pot. Tens-up probably isn't worth betting in this spot in high-only. You're laying a pretty stiff price in this game.

If you're going to put this kind of money on the table, you might spring $35 for Ray Zee's book.
