Battling the monkies

I was hoping, Andy, hoping.

You have just piled glass onto my shattered dreams.

Unfortunately, playing at Canterbury Park, I have a choice between playing my third-best game at whatever limit I think I can afford that day, and playing $3/6 stud. I choose the former, and lately I ain't running so good, which has me somewhat perplexed. Playing my worst game, Omaha/8, at the $20/40 level is sometimes an option when I'm pumped up, but they changed the game from Tuesday to Monday, and I have a permanent conflict on Mondays.

I sometimes think I'm a better poster than I am a player. Not that I think I'm Ray Zee or Tommy Angelo in either department.

Obviously you need to reread my post carefully CJ..lol..I never said I ALWAYS call with naked aces on 5th; I said that multiway I check them unimproved and usually call "depending on the boards present, the liveness of my cards and the action before it gets back to me; And if you want PROOF that aces do better statistically against many opponents check out Konstantine Othmers comprehensive statistical work on seven card stud(the best out there) and u will find that what I say is correct..I'd be more than happy to give you the page number if you like....

Unless there are scary boards out there, you should probably bet unimproved Aces on fifth street most of the time. There is a good chance that your hand is still best, and fifth street is when people start folding.
